Real Madrid youngster’s agent shuts down January exit rumours: ‘Everything being said is completely false’
Endrick’s future at Real Madrid has been the subject of growing speculation, with questions continuing to surround the Brazilian forward’s role at the Santiago Bernabeu.
After all, the 20-year-old centre-forward finds himself behind Kylian Mbappe and summer signing Carlos Espi in the pecking order under Jose Mourinho.
While he can also play on the right flank, there is serious competition in that position as well with Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, and Yan Diomande all ahead.
As such, recent reports media have suggested that the youngster could leave the club, either on a permanent transfer or a loan, in search of more regular playing time. There have also been suggestions of unrest between the player and the staff.
Amidst all this, links with several top clubs across Europe, including Premier League champions Arsenal, have surfaced.
However, the player’s representatives insist that the situation is very different from the picture being painted.
Endrick has not asked to leave
Indeed, Thiago Freitas, Endrick’s agent, has spoken to 365Scores to clarify the reports surrounding his client’s future.
Freitas categorically denied the claims and confirmed that Endrick has not asked to leave Real Madrid and has no current desire to look for another club.
“Endrick has not asked to leave the club and has never told me that he wants to look for another opportunity to play,” Freitas said, as quoted by AS.
“Everything that is being said about this is completely false and nothing like that has happened,” the Brazilian international’s agent added.
The comments provide a clear response to the growing speculation surrounding the Brazilian’s situation.
Endrick continues to work for his opportunity
Since arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu, Endrick has continued to work hard to demonstrate his goalscoring ability, despite having had limited opportunities on the pitch.
Having endured a difficult initiation under Carlo Ancelotti and then struggling for prominence under Xabi Alonso, Endrick spent the second half of the last season at Lyon, where he excelled.
Since returning to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer, the young attacker has had some physical issues which have hampered him from gaining prominence.
But manager Mourinho, who blocked the player’s summer exit, is understood to count on him.
And, for now, according to his agent, Endrick’s focus remains firmly on Real Madrid rather than finding a way out of the club.

Arsenal in contact with Real Madrid forward’s camp over potential transfer – report
Doubts about Rodrygo Goes’ long-term future at Real Madrid having been growing for some time.
The Brazilian’s situation had become uncomfortable over the past couple of seasons as he experienced a sudden decline in form. And, just when it seemed like he was about to turn things around, an ACL injury ruled him out in March earlier this year.
With Rodrygo now facing an extended spell on the sidelines, his recovery will be crucial. He is expected to return in December or January, and the club will monitor how he responds physically before determining what role he will play under Jose Mourinho.
Arsenal keeping tabs on Rodrygo
Now, according to TEAMtalk (h/t Bernabeu Digital), Arsenal are in contact with Rodrygo’s representatives over a potential future move.
The report states that the Gunners had already attempted to sign the Brazilian before his injury, and their interest has now resurfaced ahead of a possible move in the summer of 2027.
The Premier League champions had also explored the possibility of signing Vinicius Jr. from Real Madrid this past summer, before he signed a new long-term contract at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Now, their attention seems to have switched Vinicius’ fellow Brazilian forward who is closing in on his return from the ACL rupture.
Real Madrid want to keep Rodrygo until the summer
As already reported, Rodrygo will not leave Real Madrid in January. The intention is for the winger to regain full fitness and become available to Mourinho for the second half of the season.
Real Madrid are not considering selling the former Santos wonderkid during the January transfer window.
Instead, the club intend to reassess his situation next summer, once he has had the opportunity to recover and demonstrate his form on the pitch.
The plan is to have the Brazilian fit and available for the second half of the campaign before making a final decision at the end of the season.
Rodrygo’s performances after returning from injury, together with Mourinho’s assessment of his role in the squad, will help determine what happens next.
Depending on those factors, Real Madrid could consider allowing him to leave or decide that he still has an important future at the Santiago Bernabeu.
For now, Arsenal’s interest remains a possibility to watch, but Real Madrid are focused on Rodrygo’s recovery rather than negotiating a January departure.
