Carlo Ancelotti raised a major concern about Endrick at Real Madrid while Striker undergoes another huge setback

Carlo Ancelotti would have questioned Real Madrid’s decision to sign Endrick and the Brazilian “paid accordingly”, according to a report from Spain.

The 19 -year -old striker, who finally completed his move to Real Madrid in Palmerias last year for a 50.7 million pound sterling report, played 22 liga appearances during the 2024/25 season, but only three of them were starting.

In fact, the teenager was appointed in his departure XI only once during the Champions League campaign last season when he made eight appearances on the bench for the team of Carlo Ancelotti.

Endrick played a role in a bit of a bit compared to Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo, something Catalan newspaper Sport underlined in April, when they made a daring affirmation on the reflections of Ancelotti on the agreement.

“The arrival of Mbappe has never been questioned, but the signature of Brazilian Endrick was challenged by the Italian, who warned the board of directors of the saturation of attackers in the team, which would make it impossible that everyone was playing time,” said sport, according to in accordance Uol.

“Endrick paid dearly for that, because despite being the attacker with the best average of objectives per minute, he had fewer opportunities compared to his competitors Mbappe, Vinícius, Rodrygo and Bellingham.”

Ancelotti had previously told Endrick that if he wanted to arrive in Madrid, he should “suck the bench” before becoming a regular from the first team.

Speaking before their semi-final of Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad in April, the Italian said: “There is nothing missing, it is a case of competition. There are players who are extremely quality.

“I think that the story of this club shows that many starters have sucked her to the bench for a long time. Vinicius, for a few years, Roddrygo, (Federico) Valverde, (Eduardo) Camavong. If you want to be at Real Madrid, you have to suck him a little on the bench.”

Endrick undergoes another setback before the 2025/26 campaign

The striker should miss the first two months of the new season under Xabi Alonso after having undergone another problem of the hamstrings.

After missing the end of the Liga season, then the club World Cup following a series of hamstry problems, Endrick should now be out of action between eight and 10 weeks, according to Espn.

He should miss matches against Osasuna, Real Oviedo, Real Mallorca and Real Sociedad.

The teenager was linked to a loan away from Madrid, but Xabi Alonso said he expects the player to contribute to Los Blancos this season.
