Carlo Ancelotti makes it very clear to Vinícius Júnior: 'Your friend will only go to the World Cup if...'

Carlo Ancelotti has left Real Madrid for the Brazilian national team to continue his successful career as a manager. In his first drafts, he has reunited with several of his former players, such as Militao, Rodrygo, Vinícius Júnior, and Casemiro. At Bernabéu, they already played a significant role, and it's certain that all four will keep their roles in Canarinha.

However, Carlo Ancelotti has decided not to count on all the Real Madrid players available to him. Specifically, Endrick has been left out of the latest Brazilian national team draft, and his situation doesn't bode well. He doesn't play at the white club, and for now, he isn't part of Ancelotti's plans for the Brazilian national team.

Endrick's situation at Real Madrid

The reality is that Endrick still hasn't played a single minute under Xabi Alonso's orders since the season began. His progress was halted by an untimely injury suffered before the Club World Cup, just when he needed to earn his place in the team. Although he has already recovered, the outlook hasn't changed much: Mbappé dominates the attack, and Gonzalo García takes the few available minutes.

This lack of opportunities worries both the player and those closest to him. Endrick doesn't want to leave Real Madrid, but he knows the World Cup is near and that he needs to convince Carlo Ancelotti. However, he also understands that staying on the bench could close the doors to the Brazilian national team, so he doesn't rule out going out on loan.

Carlo Ancelotti has already told Vinícius Júnior: "Endrick will only go to the World Cup if he plays enough and scores goals"

Sources close to Canarinha claim that Carlo Ancelotti has been clear with Vinícius Júnior in a private conversation about Endrick's situation. The coach reportedly told him that the young forward will only go to the World Cup if he plays regularly and at a good level. So, barring any surprises, the best thing the Brazilian can do is leave Real Madrid in January.

Although his desire is to succeed at Real Madrid, Endrick is fully aware of the magnitude of an event like the World Cup. Several offers from Spain, England, and Italy have already reached those close to him, and the idea of a loan move is starting to gain traction. We'll see what happens and if Carlo Ancelotti changes his mind.
