Endrick Discusses Brazil World Cup Hopes After Real Madrid Loan Exit

Endrick is still a teenager, but his career already mixes high promise and sudden obstacles. He made his senior debut at 16 in October 2022 for Palmeiras. That appearance helped him become the second-youngest scorer in Brazil’s Serie A.

Early rise and Real Madrid agreement

Real Madrid announced a deal in December 2022 to sign him once he turned 18. The transfer was set to take effect in the summer of 2024. By then he had already become a full Brazil international.

Immediate impact in Spain

He scored on both his La Liga and Champions League debuts for Real Madrid. Those goals reinforced his reputation as a top young forward. Expectations grew quickly at club and international level.

Injury and mid-season struggles

An injury late in his first season stalled his momentum. He struggled to make an impact during the first half of the 2025/26 campaign. That dip put his place in Brazil’s World Cup plans into question.

Loan move to Lyon

Endrick left Real Madrid on loan in January. The temporary switch to Lyon revived his season. He began the spell strongly and earned a national team recall.

Recall and national-team memories

Prior to the recent international break, his last Brazil appearance had been in March 2025. He highlighted his first international goal at Wembley as a career milestone. That strike came in a 1-0 win over England.

World Cup ambitions and mindset

Endrick discusses Brazil World Cup hopes and the role of his loan exit from Real Madrid in that quest. He says faith and hard work guide his approach. He plans to train hard and follow his fitness program to stay available for selection.

He added that he is focused on the present and will perform for Lyon to force his spot. If circumstances allow, he hopes to be part of Brazil’s World Cup squad in June. Filmogaz.com reported his comments from the interview.
