While sources are indicating there has yet to be a final decision on whether Endrick leaves on loan when the January transfer window opens, it is understood Real are reluctantly giving consideration to sanctioning a move.<\/p>\n
Endrick is settled in the Spanish capital and enjoying life in mainland Europe.<\/p>\n
There is a belief that remaining in Madrid, despite his current lack of first-team minutes, would benefit the youngster in the long term as he continues his transition to senior football in a foreign country as a teenager.<\/p>\n
But there are other factors to consider.<\/p>\n
The first, and most obvious, is linked to his development. His lack of first-team action under Alonso was not envisaged as part of the player’s perceived pathway at Real.<\/p>\n
There would be an obvious benefit for Endrick to leave and play senior football on more of a regular basis simply in terms of his growth as a teenage footballer.<\/p>\n
The fact the World Cup is on the horizon provides Endrick with another reason to seriously think about leaving in January.<\/p>\n
His lack of action under Alonso, should it continue, may scupper hopes of working his way back into Ancelotti’s Brazil plans in time for the summer.<\/p>\n
Then there is the emergence of Estevao Willian at Chelsea. Not long ago, Endrick was the undisputed wonderkid of Brazilian football.<\/p>\n
The coming of age of Estevao at Chelsea this season has seen the 18-year-old – who played with Endrick at Palmeiras – become the new apple of the Brazilian public’s eye.<\/p>\n
So what should Endrick do? It’s a tough call for a young man to make.<\/p>\n
Balague said: “In the previous winter, a year ago, there was the possibility of going on loan but it was decided it was not going to be the case.<\/p>\n
“In the summer, the club were sounding him out about a loan but he didn’t want to go out, because he thought staying at Real Madrid was a quicker way of getting into the national side, even if he didn’t play regularly. But now he hasn’t been called up for Brazil.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While sources are indicating there has yet to be a final decision on whether Endrick leaves on loan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255033,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-255032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
