Endrick on the Table: Real Madrid Open to Loan, Red-and-Black Dream Gains Momentum!
Flamengo is still actively searching for a striker for the next transfer window. In this scenario, one name gaining prominence is Endrick, the young forward who played for Palmeiras and is currently at Real Madrid. According to the Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’, the Blancos would be willing to negotiate a new loan for the Brazilian, aiming to provide the athlete with more playing time. The potential departure of Endrick, just 20 years old, is viewed favorably by the Spanish club, especially after the arrival of José Mourinho, who seeks to optimize the squad.
Endrick’s Current Situation at Real Madrid
Signed by Real Madrid for a significant R$400 million in July 2024, Endrick has not yet managed to establish himself in the main squad. Consequently, the young player was loaned to Lyon, in France, in January 2026, where he remained until the end of the European season. During his stint with the French club, Endrick played 21 matches, scoring eight goals and providing eight assists. His performance earned him a call-up for the 2026 World Cup under Carlo Ancelotti, despite being remembered for a missed goal in the elimination against Norway in the Round of 16.
Opinion on Endrick at Mengão
Davi Esteves, a journalist for Coluna do Fla, shared his view on the possibility of Endrick wearing the Flamengo jersey: “Endrick is an extraordinarily talented player and would fit into any squad in Brazilian football. On the other hand, the young player has an affiliation with the Palmeiras jersey, a fact that could hinder a potential agreement with Mengão. Although Flamengo has no ongoing negotiations for the player, I believe Endrick would be a good addition to the red-and-black squad. Furthermore, Leonardo Jardim has a good track record working with young players.”
Mengão’s Priorities for the Transfer Market
Flamengo‘s board aims to bring in three reinforcements during this window. The name of Thiago Almada, formerly of Botafogo and a midfielder for Atlético de Madrid, is already being rumored, and talks are advanced. Additionally, the club is looking for a winger and a young striker to round out the squad and rotate with Pedro, who is an undisputed starter under Leonardo Jardim.
Flamengo’s Next Challenge
While the transfer market is active, Flamengo is focusing on its next commitment in the Brazilian Championship. This Wednesday (29), the team faces Internacional at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Beira-Rio, in a match valid for the 21st round. Follow all the details on Coluna do Fla, via the website, social media, and YouTube. The broadcast of the match against Internacional will be handled by Prime Video.
