According to COPE journalist Arancha Rodriguez, young Brazilian star Endrick was just a step away from leaving Real Madrid for Real Sociedad earlier in the transfer window.
The Plan to Send Him Out on Loan
After a hit-and-miss debut season at the Santiago Bernabéu, rumours had been flying that Real Madrid might loan out the 19-year-old to get him more game time.
While those loan rumours have now been shut down, insiders claim that back in June, Endrick had “practically everything agreed” to spend the upcoming season in San Sebastián with Real Sociedad.
But omo… here’s where the story turns from sweet to painful.
The Twist Nobody Saw Coming
Just when the paperwork was almost complete, Endrick reportedly suffered an injury setback.
According to sources, this unexpected blow forced all parties to call off the deal immediately. Real Sociedad were not willing to take the risk of signing him while recovering, and Madrid decided to keep him instead.
What It Means for Endrick
With the move dead in the water, Endrick will now remain at Real Madrid — at least for this season. However, questions remain about how much playing time he’ll get under Carlo Ancelotti, given the intense competition for places in the attack.
For fans, this means they’ll still get to see him in a Madrid shirt, but whether he’ll get enough minutes to truly shine is another story.
The Bigger Picture
This incident shows just how quickly transfer plans can fall apart in football. One moment, a player is packing bags; the next, omo, injury don scatter everything.
