Endrick age

As Endrick spends more and more time on the bench, speculation is mounting about the 18-year-old's place at Real Madrid. Despite Real Madrid's recent struggles, Carlo Ancelotti has called upon his new Brazilian striker just once in Los Blancos' last six matches. In fact, Endrick has only logged 122 minutes across all competitions for the defending Spanish champions this season. The former Palmeiras player signed with Real Madrid as a 16-year-old, but only joined the club this summer once he turned 18. He scored two goals in his first five appearances, but soon found himself relegated to the bench.Amid continued questions about Ancelotti's plans for the striker, The Sun reported that Endrick could be on his way to the Premier League to join Southampton in a shock transfer. Sky Sports reported The Sun's initial story as well, fueling the growing rumors.JOIN SI SOCCER'S REAL MADRID WHATSAPP COMMUNITY - GET ALL THE LATEST NEWS AND ANALYSIS STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONEIn theory, Real Madrid sending Endrick out on loan would not come as a huge surprise, considering his lack of playing time. The club has made similar moves in the past with young talent, including Martin Ødegaard, Takefusa Kubo and Luka Jović. Except a link with last-place Southampton never made much sense and was immediately dispelled by Fabrizio Romano."Real Madrid have not activated any plan to loan out Endrick in January and Endrick is not planning to leave," Romano said. "Reports from England about Southampton loan move are not true at all."According to Romano, Endrick's future at Real Madrid is secure. As of now, it looks like the teenager will just have to wait his turn and prove himself once he gets more consistent opportunities. It took his fellow Brazil teammate Vinícius Júnior years before he emerged as a player worthy of Cristiano Ronaldo's shirt number. The winger joined Real Madrid in 2018 at age 18, but did not truly break into the side and become a consistent starter until 2021.It goes without saying that Endrick and 19-year-old Arda Güler will get more playing time if Los Blancos start dominating games. The two youngsters both played 15 minutes against Osasuna once Real Madrid took a commanding 4–0 lead.Coming back from the November international break, Real Madrid is still dealing with an injury crisis. Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão are out for the season with ACL injuries, and Aurélien Tchouaméni, Lucas Vázquez and Rodrygo are all sidelined with various issues. Fede Valverde is expected to move to right back while Brahim Díaz could get the nod up top with Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé.With so little options for Ancelotti on the bench, Endrick's number is bound to get called, but it is up

MADRID (AP) — When Endrick joined Real Madrid after turning 18, many questioned whether he could fit in with the main squad or if it would be better to send him out on loan or to the “B” team to gain experience.Madrid decided to keep him close, and only a few matches into the season, the only doubt surrounding the Brazil forward is about when he will get a chance to earn a first start with Carlo Ancelotti’s first team.Endrick has made the most of his minutes off the bench and quickly proved his worth, gaining the trust of his teammates and exciting fans who now want to see more of the young sensation.He remains in a secondary role with a star-studded squad that includes already established forwards such as Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Kylian Mbappé, but the Brazilian has put himself among the first in line to earn more chances. And Endrick may get just that — and even his first start with the Spanish powerhouse — as Madrid begins a series of matches that could prompt Ancelotti to start rotating his squad more often. The series will begin on Saturday with a match against Espanyol in the Spanish league, where Madrid is already four points behind Barcelona after a lackluster start. There will also be a few Champions League matches coming up, and it should be a matter of time before Endrick gets his opportunity.“He has this gift, which is very effective, and in training you can see that he has something special,” coach Ancelotti said. “He’s very effective, with a very strong and very quick shot. He has proved to be very brave in all senses of the word.” Endrick impressed Ancelotti and his teammates with a stoppage-time goal against Stuttgart in the Champions League on Tuesday, when he decided to deliver a long-range shot instead of taking advantage of a breakaway with Mbappé and Vinícius by his side.“He had courage because the best approach was to take advantage of the three-on-one situation, but he was confident of scoring and he did that very well because the
