A time of major changes at Real Madrid is well underway. Carlo Ancelotti has been replaced by Xabi Alonso, Luka Modrić will leave after the Club World Cup, and there are likely to be more departures—one of them could be Endrick. The super-talented Brazilian has struggled to adapt in his first year in Madrid. Due to intense competition, he played only 847 minutes across all competitions but still managed to score seven goals, five of which came in the Copa del Rey, where he saw the most playing time. With Xabi Alonso’s arrival, it seems the young striker could be on his way out, as the Spaniard is expected to focus on sharpening the attacking trio of Kylian Mbappe – Vinícius – Rodrygo, which would again leave Endrick with little to no minutes.Xabi already has plans for Vinicius and MbappeA departure seems likely, but according to Spanish media, only on a temporary basis. Even though there’s currently no space for him, Real Madrid has not lost faith in Endrick and his enormous potential. He wasn’t bought for 50 million euros two years in advance for no reason—so the only reasonable solution is for the Brazilian to find a club where he’ll get playing time and experience. Juventus reportedly offers such a solution. In Turin, they are preparing to open talks with Real about a possible loan move, and first contacts could be established as early as this weekend. Juventus is also looking to refresh their attack after an underwhelming season, and there have been rumors of Dušan Vlahović potentially leaving.La Liga recap: Hansi’s magical kindergarten, Madrid’s trophyless farewell of legends, and reinvented duo in green and whiteIn Italy, some even mention Milan as a possible temporary destination for Endrick, but the key difference is that Juventus will play in the Champions League next season, while Milan will not feature in any European competition. Real Madrid does not want to waste Endrick’s talent, but it’s clear he needs a team to serve as a bridge between Palmeiras and the main stage in Madrid. Endrick’s lack of minutes at Real even cost him a place in the Brazilian national team. New manager Carlo Ancelotti (ironically, who was his coach at Real until recently) even jokingly said, “Endrick isn’t here because he doesn’t play for his club.” As a reminder, Real has already signed Dean Huijsen, and is now awaiting Nico Paz, who is seen as a potential successor to Luka Modrić.##NAJAVA_MECA_8952713##
