While Arda Guler is finally earning some recognisition in the Real Madrid first-team, his colleague Endrick has had a much more difficult time.
Joining from Palmeiras on the back of immense expectations, Endrick has struggled to make an instant impact at the Bernabeu.
The youngster has featured in only 12 competitive matches this season, during which he has started only once. In fact, the forward is still awaiting his maiden start in La Liga, even as we approach the midway point of the campaign.
Real Madrid open to loaning out Endrick
As Endrick’s struggles at Real Madrid continue, a recent report from Defensa Central has offered an update on the forward’s future.
The report points out that the continuation of Carlo Ancelotti could see the Brazilian leave Real Madrid on a loan deal.

This is hardly surprising as the Italian has been quite hesitant in giving chances to younger players in the team.
This has ultimately resulted in Endrick’s slow start to life at Real Madrid. The club, therefore, are open to loaning the player out, but only if Ancelotti continues for another season.
There are no shortage of suitors either, with Endrick being linked with a move for Real Valladolid earlier in the season.
After all, it is no secret that Ronaldo Nazario is a huge fan of Endrick and would be more than willing to sign him for Valladolid this term.
Apart from Valladolid, several Premier League clubs are also tracking the progress of Endrick and could come knocking, if Real Madrid decide to sanction a loan deal.
