A La Liga club is negotiating with Real Madrid for Endrick in January

The summer transfer window has now closed, but Endrick's journey is just starting at Real Madrid. The young Brazilian forward, seen as one of the most promising talents in global football, has been the focus of much talk during the preseason.

His situation became uncertain when another young player, Gonzalo, started gaining the coaches' confidence, putting Endrick in a tough spot.

But he chose to stay and commit to Real Madrid for his first season in Europe.

Valencia had previously looked to sign Endrick before his injury kept him out.

Still, there's a lot of interest in him. According to DefensaCentral, several European clubs have asked about his availability, with Valencia CF being one of the main teams. Valencia, who struggled with scoring last season, has already spoken to Real Madrid's board, led by Florentino Pérez, about a possible loan deal before the winter transfer window.

Valencia has said they're interested in bringing him in January, depending on how many games Endrick plays in the first half of the season.

At Mestalla, they believe adding a player like him would help both on and off the pitch, and also solve their goal-scoring issues.

Meanwhile, Endrick is working hard to recover from his injury, which has kept him sidelined for some matches.

He's now in the last stages of his rehab and could be back soon. His motivation is strong because the next few months will be crucial for his future, especially as the winter transfer window approaches.

The Brazilian knows that competition in Real Madrid's attacking line is tough, with players like Vinícius Júnior, Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo getting most of the playing time. Endrick wants to show he can be a reliable choice in Carlo Ancelotti's team selections, but it won't be an easy path. If he can't secure a regular spot, a loan move could be a likely option.

A big factor is the World Cup.

Endrick hopes to be part of the Brazil squad, and to do that, he needs consistent playing time. In that sense, a loan to Valencia or another European club might be a good move. At Valdebebas, they recognize his talent and his strong reputation across Europe, but they're not against considering other options if he doesn't get much playing time.

Endrick's future will be decided in the coming four months.

Madrid wants to see how he develops after recovering from his injury, and Valencia has already confirmed he'll be back in action in January. Everything depends on what Endrick does on the pitch, where he needs to make the most of every chance to prove he deserves a spot at Real Madrid.
