Real Madrid Starlet Endrick Felipe reminded the world how talented he is on Wednesday evening, with a two-touch finish that Los Blancos gave a lead in their Copa del Rey Semi-final against Real Sociedad. With Kylian Mbappe absent due to toothache, Endrick got a rare starting place.
The 18-year-old arrived in the summer for € 40 million plus € 20 million in variables from Palmeiras, and impressed by two goals in his first five performances, despite the fact that they were only 20 minutes as action. The Teenage Starlet, however, is generally starving with opportunities and has only played 474 minutes throughout the season. In total, Endrick played only four times of the kick -off, despite the scoring of six times, and only once he started in competitions that are not the Copa.
During the winter transfer window it was rumor that he could leave for more playing time, but that conversation was rejected by Carlo Ancelotti, and the club seemed to reject an approach from West Ham United at the end of January. Diario says that a meeting between Endrick, his agents and Real Madrid will take place at the end of the season to discuss whether a loan can be favorable.
The fact that Mbappe has installed itself as a clear number nine for Real Madrid Now is an important obstacle for both the development and the playing time of Endrick, given that the Frenchman will probably play the vast majority of games. Moreover, Endrick is probably a claim for a place in the Brazilian team for the 2026 World Cup team. He has been created lately and needs minutes to become a member of Raphinha, Rodrygo goes again and Vinicius Junior. Carlo Ancelotti preaches patience to both Endrick and Arda Guler, but it is understandable that he wants more playing time.
