Endrick could leave Real Madrid over lack of playing time

Real Madrid forward Endrick could leave the club in the winter transfer window because he has not been getting enough playing time. The Brazilian is considering different options to continue his career, AS reports.

Endrick is open to a permanent transfer as well as a loan move. Roma and Sporting are considered the leading candidates to sign the Brazilian on loan.

One advantage for the Lisbon club is head coach Paulo Fonseca. The forward enjoyed a successful spell at French club Lyon under Fonseca last season. Sporting representatives have begun talks to arrange a move for the second half of the season.

Real Madrid plans to retain some of its rights to the player or add a clause to the contract allowing the club to bring him back as a priority.

Endrick has played a total of 140 minutes in seven matches this season. He has started only once, in a 4-1 win over Sevilla.
