The young talent is currently on international duty with Brazil, where the squad, led by Carlo Ancelotti, is preparing for upcoming matches against Japan and Singapore.

The Mourinho Connection
A significant aspect of Endrick's tenure in Madrid is his relationship with manager José Mourinho. The Brazilian revealed that the veteran coach maintains daily contact with him, though their conversations often focus on the player's personal life rather than just tactical instructions. This personal bond has provided the striker with extra motivation to succeed under the Portuguese manager.
While Endrick reiterated his commitment to the club, stating that Real Madrid remains the ultimate priority, he did not rule out a move if it becomes necessary for his growth. He noted that he will always do what is required to ensure his career continues to move forward.
"I’ll always do whatever is necessary to move my career forward."

He expressed a strong ambition to reach his peak form by then to help the Brazilian national team reclaim the world title. For now, however, all eyes remain on the upcoming winter window to see if the young star remains in the Spanish capital.
