Endrick Eyes Bernabéu Breakthrough
Four minutes of official competitive action. That was the sum of Endrick’s season before the trip to Rome this week.
Now, the Real Madrid forward is emerging as a serious option for José Mourinho ahead of Sunday’s fixture against Sevilla, according to a report. The pivot comes after Vinicius was handed a four-match suspension, forcing an immediate reshuffle of the Spanish club’s attack.
Rome Comeback Sparks Tactical Shift
Endrick forced his way into tactical calculations with a decisive performance during Real Madrid’s 4-3 comeback victory against AS Roma in midweek. Introduced as a second-half substitute in Rome, the player scored and destabilized the opposition backline to help the team win. Prior to that impact, his progress had been partly hampered by an early injury.

According to Marca, Mourinho is now preparing to deploy the youngster on the right wing for Sunday’s visit from the Andalusians. The anticipated tactical setup features Kylian Mbappé through the center and Diomande on the left flank, in the absence of Vinicius.
Lyon Loan Laid Foundation for Fight
The prospective start marks a potential turning point for the Brazilian in Madrid. During the second half of the previous campaign, the forward completed a productive loan spell at OL, registering eight goals and eight assists across 21 appearances in all competitions. That stint in France restored his rhythm and confidence, convincing him to fight for his place in the Spanish capital rather than pursue another temporary move this season.
Proving Ground Awaits Sevilla Test
Despite those ambitions, the opening months of the current campaign brought minimal opportunities under Mourinho, sparking speculation regarding a potential winter loan exit. Sunday’s match against Sevilla offers an immediate test of whether his midweek breakthrough in Rome translates into sustained responsibility within a fiercely competitive squad.
