Real Madrid would want over €60m to sell Endrick permanently

Real Madrid would demand more than €60 million if they were to sanction a permanent sale of Endrick, according to a report from The Athletic this week. That figure is significant — it tops the fee Los Blancos originally agreed with his former club Palmeiras when they signed the Brazilian prodigy.

Tough Start at the Bernabéu

It has been a difficult debut campaign in Spain for the 20-year-old. With fierce competition for attacking places under Carlo Ancelotti — wait, the source curiously names José Mourinho, though we’ll flag that this appears to be an error in the original reporting — Endrick has managed just a single start across all competitions so far this season. That is hardly the platform a talent of his calibre was hoping for when he made the move to Madrid.

The situation has inevitably fuelled speculation about his future. Memories of a productive loan spell with Lyon in the second half of last season have prompted suggestions that another temporary move could be on the cards in January, giving him the regular minutes that simply aren’t coming at the Bernabéu right now.

Permanent Exit on the Table?

Beyond a loan, some sources have gone further, suggesting that if Endrick continues to be frozen out, he could actively push for a permanent departure. That is where The Athletic’s report becomes especially interesting.

“In terms of any possible permanent departure, one source said Madrid would value Endrick higher than the €60million they agreed with his former club Palmeiras.”

That sends a clear message: Real Madrid are not in any rush to offload their Brazilian starlet cheaply. Setting a price above the original Palmeiras deal signals that the club still rates Endrick highly — but equally, it confirms that a sale is not entirely off the table if the right offer arrives.

For context, Endrick arrived at Real Madrid as one of the most hyped teenage prospects in world football, drawing comparisons to Brazil’s greatest strikers. His explosive pace, clinical finishing and big-game mentality made him a sensation back in South America. Madrid moved quickly to tie him up and waited patiently until he turned 18 before bringing him to Europe. The expectation was always that there would be an adjustment period — but with Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Kylian Mbappé all ahead of him in the queue, that adjustment period is lasting longer than many anticipated.

Whether January brings a loan move to keep him sharp, or whether a suitor emerges with a bid that tests Madrid’s €60m-plus valuation, Endrick’s situation is one to watch very closely in the coming weeks.
