Endrick continues to face an uncertain future at Real Madrid as he struggles to break into Jose Mourinho's starting XI.

The 20-year-old has played just 140 minutes in seven matches across all competitions this season, which include his only start against Sevilla in La Liga.

He has been struggling for consistent playing minutes in a world-class frontline in the Spanish capital that features Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

According to AS, Portuguese club Sporting CP have submitted an offer to sign Endrick in the January transfer window that could reunite him with Paulo Fonseca, his former coach at Olympique Lyon.

Sporting CP submit offer for Endrick

Endrick is reportedly attracting lots of interest from across Europe but Sporting CP have moved swiftly with an offer ahead of the January transfer window.

The report claims that the Portuguese giants have approached Real Madrid just a few days after they confirmed the arrival of their new coach, Fonseca, from Lyon.

The Green and Whites believe Endrick's settlement in Lisbon would be seamless because he already speaks Portuguese and he is familiar with the country's culture and manager.

They are also assuring him of adequate playing time with their participation in the UEFA Champions League.

However, Endrick is yet to decide on his next move as he is reportedly still weighing his options, with Serie A club AS Roma also in the race for his signing.

Endrick's performance under Fonseca

Paulo Fonseca is no stranger to Endrick as the Portuguese coach played a major role in securing his loan move to Lyon in December 2025.

Endrick enjoyed his most prolific season yet in Europe in Lyon last season when he scored five goals and provided seven assists in 16 Ligue 1 games.

He also became the fourth-youngest player to score a hat-trick in the French top-flight at age 19 years and 188 days (against Metz) and his exploits were crucial in helping Lyon qualify for European competition.

Six months after his return to Real Madrid, Fonseca might be counting on the Brazilian striker to help overturn Sporting CP's fortunes as they aim for silverware this season.

The Green and Whites are currently third in the Liga Portugal table with nine points behind leaders Porto, who are on an 11-game perfect streak and four points behind Benfica.
