Swap! Endrick for Manchester United's star, Real Madrid comes out on top

Sources in England claim that a historic swap could take place between Manchester United and Real Madrid in January

Endrick is destined to be the best "9" in the world, but at Real Madrid his situation has become unsustainable. Despite having recovered physically and being available to play for weeks, the young Brazilian still hasn't made his debut under Xabi Alonso. In El Clásico he was once again left without playing time, and his expression on the bench clearly reflected what many fear: he is discouraged, disappointed, and doesn't understand why he isn't playing.

Endrick arrived at Real Madrid as the great promise of world soccer. The club paid €72 million to secure a gem who was already standing out at just 17 years old. However, the context hasn't favored him: with Mbappé and Gonzalo, the Brazilian striker hasn't found a place in the Basque coach's plans.

The feeling is that Endrick needs playing time to grow. His potential is unquestionable, but without continuity he risks stagnating at a key stage of his development. Precisely for this reason, he isn't ruling out going out on loan in January, seeking a real opportunity to show his talent and gain experience in an environment less demanding than Bernabéu.

Endrick appeals to many

In this context, several European clubs have started to make moves. Olympique de Lyon and Manchester United are the two teams that have shown the most interest in acquiring his services. The French seemed to be in pole position to finalize a loan, but the emergence of the English team has radically changed the scenario.

According to recent reports, Manchester United would be willing to include Kobbie Mainoo in a swap deal for Endrick. The young midfielder, considered the great promise of Old Trafford, is experiencing a situation very similar to the Brazilian's: tremendous talent, but no place in the first team.

Kobbie Mainoo for Endrick, the best solution

Kobbie Mainoo has only started in the Cup, while his appearances in the Premier League are limited to garbage time. His progression has come to a halt and he has already asked Manchester United to facilitate a move in January. Thanks to Endrick, he could end up joining Real Madrid.

In England, reports indicate that the agreement is starting to take shape. Endrick could join Manchester United on loan, while Kobbie Mainoo would arrive at Real Madrid under the same conditions. The deal would benefit both parties: the English team would get the striker they've been searching for, and the Whites would strengthen their midfield.

At Bernabéu, the deal is generating optimism. Endrick hasn't had a leading role and his loan would help relieve media and sporting pressure. In exchange, Real Madrid would receive a midfielder like Kobbie Mainoo, who fits into their future plans and could adapt to Xabi Alonso's system.
