Chelsea are keeping an eye on Endrick’s circumstances at Real Madrid and are ready to make a January move for the Brazilian striker, allowing him to start over in the Premier League. Since making his high-profile move from Palmeiras, the 19-year-old has had difficulty getting regular playing time in Spain.
Endrick finally arrived in Madrid in the summer of 2024 after Real Madrid and Palmeiras reached a high-profile agreement in December 2022. Several European powerhouses, including Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, expressed interest in the teenager.
Even though he is one of Brazil’s best prospects, he hasn’t played much and is now on Xabi Alonso’s list of players he is willing to let go, with the board open to at least a loan departure. Real Madrid and Lyon are reportedly in extensive negotiations for a January 2026 loan move, according to reports in Spain and England.
However, Chelsea has made their own inquiries and is prepared to compete with the Ligue 1 team for his services. The Blues see a loan with a buyout option as a potentially wise business move and think Endrick can bring a different profile to their forward line.
Chelsea Have Long Been Interested in Endrick
After losing out when the striker opted to play for Real Madrid earlier in his career, Chelsea have had a long-standing interest in him. The London club are now considering the possibility of reuniting the two former academy teammates in Endrick and Estevao. The duo’s partnership in Brazil produced an exceptional record at the youth level, and now, Estevao is making an impression at Stamford Bridge after moving from Palmeiras.
According to reports, Endrick would be thrilled to play with Estevao once more. Endrick’s lack of playing time in Madrid has sparked questions about his development ahead of the 2026 World Cup cycle. This is even though he is still highly regarded in Brazilian football and has already earned senior caps and goals for the Selecao.
Chelsea are certain that the Real Madrid forward could regain the form that made him one of the most sought-after teenagers in world football with regular football in England.
