Real Madrid’s Endrick Gains Momentum After Strong Performance Against AS Roma
After a rocky beginning to the 2026-27 season, Real Madrid has shown a marked improvement in form over the past few weeks. The comeback victory over AS Roma has proven to be a pivotal moment for the team, as evidenced by their recent win against FC Barcelona in last week’s El Clasico, which had started the season on a high note.
Brazilian forward Endrick played a crucial role in the significant match against AS Roma. Earlier this season, he had only spent four minutes on the pitch during a game against Elche, yet he demonstrated his potential by he helped his team turn the score around and get a win in Rome.

This performance markedly boosted Endrick’s prospects within Jose Mourinho’s plans. From having logged just four minutes of play in the initial eight matches, he has now accumulated 102 minutes in the last five games. Despite this improvement, he continues to be a backup option for the Portuguese coach, especially given the wealth of attacking talent in the Real Madrid lineup.
Furthermore, the Brazilian remains an attractive target in the transfer market, with several clubs closely monitoring his situation ahead of the January window. According to Diario AS, Endrick is keeping his options open and has yet to make any final commitments regarding a transfer.
Before contemplating any move in January, the forward aims to maximize his opportunities under Mourinho. With approximately ten matches remaining before the transfer window, including seven in La Liga and three in the Champions League, these upcoming games will play a crucial role in shaping his decision regarding a potential winter transfer.
In recent remarks, Jose Mourinho has stated that he does not envision a departure for Endrick, yet the player desires regular playing time to foster his growth and development. As the season progresses, it remains uncertain whether he will stay with Real Madrid for the latter half of this season.
