Endrick faces competition in Real Madrid squad under Mourinho

Summary

Endrick, a 19-year-old forward at Real Madrid, is contending for playing time as the team prepares for the upcoming season. Since joining the club, the Brazilian has struggled to secure regular minutes but showed promise with seven goals last season. After a loan to Lyon improved his performance, he earned a spot on Brazil's World Cup squad, though he has had limited playing time during the tournament. With Jose Mourinho wanting another striker for next season, Endrick's role may be impacted, especially with academy product Gonzalo emerging as a contender for minutes. The club continues to support Endrick, believing he remains a vital piece for the future.
