Over the past two weeks, talk around his next possible destination has intensified - and to some extent, there is truth in suggestions he could leave.
Endrick arrived in the summer of 2024 but failed to make much of an impact. His situation has not improved under Xabi Alonso, with the player yet to make an appearance this season.
Madrid face Getafe this weekend, and Endrick will once again be wondering where he fits in.
There is no doubt about interest from teams around Europe wanting to sign him, but financial issues are likely if he becomes available in January.
Recent rumours have linked him with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille in France and Manchester United and West Ham in England, yet sources indicate the overall picture remains unclear.
If Madrid grant him permission to leave on loan in January, sources say the financial demands will be spelt out clearly.
Our understanding is that Endrick’s weekly salary would need to be covered in full, with an additional loan fee also required.
He is reported to earn a basic between €80,000 and €100,000-a-week and that would prove tricky for some teams.
His talent is undeniable, but for a teenager lacking momentum, such a deal would carry an element of risk.
Endrick, 19, still hopes to prove himself at Madrid before the year is out - but time is not on his side.
