With only two appearances in the last nine outings of his team, the situation of Endrick is causing concern at Real Madrid.
The recent lack of consistency from the Brazilian prodigious striker, Endrick, recruited by Real Madrid, raises questions. He has only stepped onto the field in two of the last nine matches for his Palmeiras team, and among those, he was only fielded as a starter once.
Less than a year ago, the football world celebrated his name as the youngest scorer of the competition at under 17 years old, but now the Brazilian gem exists only through his past exploits. While the young forward did manage to score a few goals, the poor results of his club overshadowed his achievements. Strangely enough, just as his team started to improve, he disappeared from the radar.
In fact, the Brazilian was no longer showing any decisive contributions, to the extent that his coach decided to sideline him. Now on the substitute bench, the player only gets bits of game time. And his situation does not seem likely to improve, as the Portuguese coach, Abel Ferreira, seems to have found a new favorite in Argentine José Lopez, who is being consistently fielded, pushing aside the future Real Madrid striker.
This situation is causing concern in Madrid, especially since the Brazilian is set to join the White House next summer. This Wednesday, Palmeiras will play their second-leg quarter-final match in the Libertadores against the Colombian team Deportivo Pereira. With a 4-0 scoreline in favor of the Brazilians from the first leg, it might be an opportunity for Abel Ferreira to start Endrick and give him a new chance to prove himself.
If this move materializes, it could potentially ease the worries of the Madrid leadership, who are eager to see their gem perform consistently before his move to the Spanish capital in July next year.
