Endrick's future at Real Madrid has taken a dramatic turn since the start of preseason. Although the Brazilian striker had been linked with a possible departure in search of regular playing time, his performances in training have completely changed the coaching staff's assessment.

According to Sergi Valentín, José Mourinho now wants Endrick to remain at the club after being highly impressed by the young forward's displays since reporting for preseason.

The Portuguese coach has reportedly been particularly pleased with Endrick's intensity, work ethic, and determination in every training session. Beyond his undeniable talent, Mourinho believes the Brazilian possesses the mentality and competitive character needed to contribute to the team this season.

Endrick has also backed up those performances on the pitch during preseason, reinforcing his strong start with an impressive display and a goal against Fiorentina.

The shift in Mourinho's thinking significantly changes Endrick's outlook at Real Madrid. The club has never doubted his long-term potential, and he now appears to have earned the full confidence of the new manager as well.

Unless there is an unexpected twist before the transfer window closes, Real Madrid's plan is to keep Endrick, gradually increase his playing time, and establish him as an important option in the club's attacking rotation throughout the 2026-27 campaign.
