Real Valladolid are planning to sign Real Madrid's Endrick on loan in January, according to Super Deporte (via GOAL). Valladolid, owned by Los Blancos legend Ronaldo Nazario, are 19th in the LaLiga table after 13 games.

Endrik arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, on a €47.5m deal from Palmeiras, as one of the most exciting young talents in the world. However, he has struggled for game time so far under Carlo Ancelotti.

The Italian manager is spoilt for choice in attack at the moment, with Kylian Mbappe also joining the LaLiga champions over the summer. Endrick now finds himself way down the pecking order at Real Madrid.

The 18-year-old has registered two goals and one assist from 10 games, but only one of them has been a start. Endrick is reportedly frustrated with the situation and is considering his options.

Los Blancos understand that the Brazilian needs regular minutes to continue his development. However, they are also aware that his situation may not improve this season at the Santiago Bernabeu.

As such, the LaLiga giants are willing to consider a temporary exit that will help the player gain valuable experience. Valladolid has struggled in the final third this season, registering just 10 goals in 13 games in the league.

They have now turned to Endrick and want to secure his services on a short-term loan deal. Interestingly, the Brazilian's only league goal this season for Real Madrid came against Valladolid in his LaLiga debut.

Apart from Endrick, the other Brazilians in Real Madrid's squad are Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, and Eder Militao. However, all three have received Spanish citizenship and do not occupy the non-EU spots in the squad.

Vinicius has been in tremendous form for Los Blancos once again this season. He has registered 12 goals and seven assists from 17 games across competitions. The 24-year-old narrowly missed out on the 2024 Ballon d'Or, which was won by Manchester City's Rodri.

Meanwhile, Rodrygo's future was subject to speculation over the summer, following Kylian Mbappe's arrival. However, the 23-year-old remains a key part of Real Madrid's plans and has scored three goals in 15 games this season.

Eder Militao's season, however, is already over. The Brazilian defender suffered his second ACL injury in just over a year against Osasuna on Saturday and isn't expected to play against this season.
