Real Madrid Reportedly Keep Endrick for 2026/27 and Hand Him No. 9 Shirt
Real Madrid have reportedly decided to keep Brazilian forward Endrick for the 2026/27 season, ending speculation that he could leave on another loan. The club have also handed the 20-year-old the No. 9 shirt, signalling that he is part of their first-team plans. Endrick impressed during his 2025/26 loan spell at Olympique Lyon, recording 12 goal contributions in 16 appearances. The run of form helped him regain confidence and earn a place in Brazil's 2026 World Cup squad. The former Palmeiras star struggled for regular minutes at Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso. However, new manager José Mourinho is said to be impressed by him, with the club intending to keep him at least until the January transfer window.
