Manchester United could be handed a stunning opportunity to sign Endrick after reports claimed Real Madrid are ready to sanction a January loan deal for the Brazilian wonderkid.
The 19-year-old has yet to feature this season and is pushing for regular football ahead of next summer’s World Cup. Rated at €35 million by transfer website Transfermarkt, a loan move for the player would be great value for someone.

Real Madrid’s Dilemma Over a Star Who Can’t Get Minutes
Signed from Palmeiras in a £61 million deal last year, Endrick arrived at Real Madrid with immense hype and the expectation of becoming the next big Brazilian export. But competition from Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior has left him stranded on the fringes, without a single appearance under Xabi Alonso this term.
According to Fabrizio Romano, talks have already begun over a potential loan exit, with the player eager to find regular minutes elsewhere. Madrid are said to be open to a temporary move in the winter window, keen to maintain his development rather than risk stagnation on the bench.
The decision marks a rare admission from Los Blancos that one of their marquee investments may need time away from the Santiago Bernabéu to fulfil his potential. For Endrick, it could be the key to reigniting his form in time to make Brazil’s squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Manchester United’s Opportunity to Strike
For Manchester United, the timing could not be better. Despite spending over £200 million on new attackers in the summer — including Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Šeško — the goals have not flowed consistently.
With Joshua Zirkzee frustrated by limited opportunities and attracting interest from Serie A, manager Ruben Amorim may soon find himself short of options up front. That scenario could open the door for a loan approach for Endrick, offering a low-risk, high-reward addition to bolster United’s attack.
The young forward’s blend of power, flair and natural finishing could provide precisely the unpredictability that United’s frontline has lacked. However, Madrid’s preference for a short-term loan and the likelihood of competition from other European giants means the Red Devils must move swiftly if they want to secure his signature.
Endrick’s future will be one of the defining stories of the January window — a rare chance for United to capitalise on Real Madrid’s dilemma, and perhaps, finally find the long-term star their forward line has been crying out for.
