Real Madrid forward Endrick has reportedly sent a message to manager Carlo Ancelotti amid his struggle for regular game time. The Brazilian joined the Spanish giants from Palmerias in the summer of 2024 for a reported €47.5 million fee.

Endrick has played just 250 minutes for the European champions across 16 games and has bagged two goals and an assist. However, the forward remains keen to feature more frequently for the side.

As per Real Madrid Confidencial (via Madrid Universal), after his side's 5-0 win over Deportiva Minera in the Copa del Rey, the 18-year-old told Carlo Ancelotti:

“Mister, I’m going to focus on doing much better to get more minutes.”

The Brazilian is also the subject of transfer rumors, claiming he could head out on loan in the ongoing winter transfer window. The forward will hope he can feature for Los Blancos in their next game against Mallorca in the Supercopa de Espana.


Real Madrid star played through illness to secure Player of the Match award- Reports

According to a report by journalist Guillermo Rai, Real Madrid star Arda Guler played through illness in his side's 5-0 win over Deportiva Minera to claim the Player of the Match award. The Turkey international reportedly had a fever before the game but remained effective on the pitch for his side in the Copa del Rey clash.

Guler joined Los Blancos from his boyhood club Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023 for a reported €20 million fee. The 19-year-old has played 1208 minutes across 34 games for the Spanish giants, scoring nine goals and providing three assists.

Guler was fabulous against his opponents in the Copa del Rey, bagging a brace to help his side through to the next round. He will hope his performance was enough to catch the attention of Carlo Ancelotti as he tries to get more game time under his belt.

Guler and Real Madrid are looking to defend their LaLiga and UEFA Champions League crowns this season. They next face Mallorca on Thursday, January 9, in the Supercopa de Espana semi-final.
