Real Madrid have urged Endrick to remain patient, with the young striker thought to be delaying any decision on him the future with the club until the summer after a disappointing start to his time in Europe.
The carnage surrounding Endrick was able to build over 18 months, with Madrid securing a €60m (£50m) deal for the teenager, aged just 16.
The Brazilian finally made the move to Spain after turning 18 last summer, but has struggled to command game time amid competition from Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Kylian Mbappe. The presence of Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler only adds to this, fueling rumors of a departure from the Spanish capital.
Endrik has made 16 appearances, totaling only 250 minutes, and has not scored since September 17.
Likely to his relief, the 18-year-old started Madrid's Copa del Rey match against fourth-tier Minera on Monday evening in what was billed as his own. “Last Chance”. Predictably, a rotating side also dominated the contest, greeting the home side with 21 shots on target during the 5-0 win, although Endrick was not among the scorers.
Athletics writes that Madrid have asked Endrick, who scored international goals against England and Spain last season while still a Palmeiras player, to be patient. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo similarly made predestined moves at a young age and weren't instant superstars, with Endrick actually appearing in more games so far than either had during their respective first seasons.
Endrick has no current plans to leave the Bernabeu during the January transfer window, but is expected to address the situation at the end of the season if things remain the same.
Although Madrid have enjoyed big hits with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, Barcelona have discovered that not every expensively signed teenager from South America is a success. Vitor Roque stayed just six months before being loaned to Real Betis, where he has scored four goals in La Liga.
