Bombshell at Bernabéu, it's a gift, Endrick already has a price to leave Real Madrid

Endrick is going through a real ordeal since he arrived at Real Madrid. He came to Bernabéu with the label of being Brazil's future "9" and one of the greatest prospects in world soccer. Let's remember that Florentino Pérez paid €35 million ($35 million) as a fixed fee for his signing and that the deal could reach €72 million ($72 million) if all the variables are included.

His arrival caused huge excitement among the fans, but time has dampened expectations. Neither with Ancelotti nor with Xabi Alonso has he managed to establish himself as a starter at Real Madrid. The lack of playing time has turned Endrick's great dream into a real nightmare from which he will only be able to escape if he leaves the club in January.

Endrick goes from prospect to missing

During Ancelotti's tenure, Endrick barely had real opportunities with the first team. Even so, in his first season in white, he scored seven goals in less than 900 minutes, showing an undeniable goal-scoring instinct. Those flashes weren't enough to earn the Italian coach's trust or a stable role at Bernabéu.

With Xabi Alonso's arrival, the situation hasn't improved; on the contrary, it has worsened. At the end of October, Endrick still hasn't officially debuted with Real Madrid. He hasn't even had minutes in minor or rotation matches.

Real Madrid sets his transfer price

Given this scenario, the board is already considering loaning Endrick out in January. Real Madrid has set the price for the deal: €4.5 million ($4.5 million) for the loan until the end of the season. That amount includes the cost of the loan and part of the player's salary.

It's a symbolic figure compared to what his signing cost. The club sees it as an investment so Endrick can get minutes and confidence away from Bernabéu. At the end of the loan, he will return to meet with Xabi Alonso and define his future.

He won't lack offers, since Endrick is desired by many European clubs. In LaLiga, for example, Real Sociedad, Valencia, or Sevilla have already shown interest in his situation; in France and Italy, Marseille and Juventus are the main favorites to secure his loan. It's still too early to know which team he'll end up playing for, but what is clear is that he must leave Bernabéu to keep growing, and for just €4.5 million ($4.5 million), he can do it.
