Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho wants Brazil forward Endrick to remain at the club, with the club’s hierarchy supporting the Portuguese coach’s position, according to The Athletic.
Mourinho believes the 20-year-old has yet to show his full potential at Real Madrid and is keen to continue working with him. The manager does not consider the striker’s current situation a reason for the club to part with him.
Reports had previously suggested Endrick could leave during the January transfer window. The forward is understood to be unhappy with the amount of playing time he has received with the Spanish club.
Endrick’s contract with Real Madrid runs until the end of June 2030. His transfer price is €40m.
