Real Madrid prospect Endrick has publicly affirmed his deep trust in manager José Mourinho, revealing that the Portuguese tactician is actively monitoring his development beyond the pitch. Speaking to the press during Brazil’s training camp for the current FIFA break, the 20-year-old striker detailed how Mourinho reaches out daily to inquire about his personal life rather than tactical matters. “I have great faith in Mourinho,” Endrick stated. “Every day he contacts me, not to discuss football, but to inquire about my personal life. I will always give my all for Real Madrid because the club is above everything, but with the affection and attention Mourinho shows me, I am even more motivated to give everything.”

Despite his loyalty to the Santiago Bernabéu, Endrick did not rule out the possibility of joining another club on a temporary basis during the upcoming winter transfer window. The Brazilian international emphasized his primary desire for consistent playing time to accelerate his growth, noting that his career trajectory is ultimately out of his hands. “I am only 20, so I will see how things develop. I just want to play, be happy and help my teammates. I don’t know what will happen in January; that is in God’s hands,” he explained. “I just ask for the best for my career. Whatever is meant to happen will happen.”
Endrick’s comments highlight a critical juncture in his early career, balancing the prestige of Real Madrid with the practical need for minutes to reach his full potential. While he praised Madrid as a “wonderful city” where his family resides, he remained pragmatic about his professional needs. “I will remain grounded and continue to give my best,” he added. “I will always do whatever is necessary to advance my career.” This stance suggests that if first-team opportunities remain limited under Mourinho’s system, a loan move could be a strategic step to ensure his continued development and value retention.
