The prospect of Endrick leaving Real Madrid

Young star Endrick fears he will miss the chance to play in the 2026 World Cup if he continues to be a substitute at Real Madrid.

Endrick may look to leave Real Madrid in order to get more playing time.

According to the Daily Mail , Endrick is likely considering leaving Real Madrid to get more regular playing time, with the 2026 World Cup approaching. Being behind Kylian Mbappe in the pecking order worries him of not being called up to the Brazilian national team by coach Dorival Junior for the biggest football event on the planet.

The 18-year-old striker has only scored 6 goals in 28 appearances since joining Real Madrid from Palmeiras last summer. He hasn't started a single La Liga match this season. His lack of regular playing time led to Endrick being left out of Brazil's March squad by coach Dorival Junior. Ultimately, Endrick was called up as a replacement due to Neymar's injury.

Speaking with legend Romario on Brazilian television, Endrick expressed his concern: "My biggest fear right now is not being able to participate in the World Cup. I know you (Romario) experienced the same feeling in 1998. It was my biggest dream, to wear the Brazilian national team jersey and help the team win their sixth World Cup."

Endrick admitted that the competition at Real Madrid is fierce: "When you play for the biggest club in the world , where there are top players, you can't always get to play. But every time I get the chance, I always want to show myself to impress the national team."

Endrick's statement immediately attracted the attention of many big clubs, including Chelsea, who almost signed him when he was just 16 years old. According to Defensa Central , "The Blues" are considering spending up to £105 million on a double transfer, bringing both Endrick and Rodrygo to Stamford Bridge.

Endrick is currently still on national team duty and hopes to have the opportunity to play in the South American classic against Argentina on March 26th. Brazil is currently ranked 3rd in the South American qualifying round, after a 2-1 victory over Colombia.

Endrick's two goals made history for Brazil. Endrick became only the second player after Pele to score for the Brazilian national team in two consecutive matches before turning 18.
