While the limelight will shine on Kylian Mbappe once he joins Real Madrid, Endrick, too, will be a marquee arrival for Los Blancos this summer.
Regarded as the next big thing in South American football, Endrick will join on the back of unprecedented success with Palmeiras and a few international caps to his name.
Despite this, it has been suggested that Real Madrid could assess the possibility of loaning him out, especially considering the congested Real Madrid attack next season.
Endrick wants to stay in first-team
However, as reported by Diario AS, Endrick has set his sights firmly on a first-team role upon his arrival at the Bernabeu.
Despite his young age, Endrick possesses a maturity and experience that suggests a different path than previous signings like Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.

While Vinicius and Rodrygo arrived with only a handful of senior appearances under their belts, Endrick boasts a far more impressive resume.
Two Brazilian league titles with Palmeiras, coupled with appearances for the senior national team, solidify his credentials.
As a result, Endrick wants to make an immediate impact at Real Madrid. He is unfazed by the potential arrival of Kylian Mbappe and wants to challenge for a place in the first team.
Keeping that in mind, no loan deals will be entertained for Endrick this summer nor will he kickstart his Real Madrid journey by playing his RM Castilla.
His representatives acknowledge a potential caveat to this approach. Six months after his arrival, coinciding with the January transfer window, Endrick’s situation will be reevaluated.
Should he find himself consistently sidelined, a loan move could be considered to ensure he maintains regular playing time.
However, the emphasis is clear – prioritize Endrick’s development and a loan will only be considered as a last resort.
