Endricks Injury Halts Real Madrid Exit Plans

Brazilian youngster Endrick, who scored 7 goals in just 8 starts for Real Madrid, has suffered a hamstring relapse that may sideline him for up to two months. Linked with a loan move due to limited game time, his injury now makes a summer exit unlikely, with Real possibly retaining him over Gonzalo Garcia.

For the talented young Brazilian Endrick, the road at Real Madrid has hit another bump following a fresh injury setback. After limited game time in his debut season, just eight starts across all competitions, he still impressed by netting seven goals. However, persistent hamstring issues have now sidelined him for an estimated two months, significantly affecting any transfer plans this summer.

Endrick was previously linked with loan moves to clubs like Marseille and PSV Eindhoven to gain more regular playing time. His goal was to stay match-fit and build a case for a spot in Brazil's squad for the upcoming World Cup under Carlo Ancelotti. But with this new injury relapse, those aspirations face a delay. Meanwhile, Gonzalo Garcia has emerged as a strong contender in Real Madrid’s attack, especially after scoring four goals at the FIFA Club World Cup.

With several attacking options available, the club was expected to offload one of its forwards this summer. But due to Endrick’s injury, Diario AS reports that Madrid may now consider letting Garcia go instead. Real Madrid, having been knocked out of the Club World Cup semi-final by PSG, will begin their La Liga 2025-26 season against Osasuna on August 19 as they reassess their squad dynamics.
