Juventus have officially contacted Real Madrid to explore the possibility of signing Brazilian forward Endrick on loan for the 2025–26 season. The 18-year-old striker, who joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras in July 2024, is one of the most exciting young talents in world football. However, his role in the Spanish club’s first team is uncertain due to heavy competition in the squad.
Endrick agreed to join Real Madrid in late 2022, but the transfer only became official this summer when he turned 18. During his time at Palmeiras, he impressed with his goal-scoring ability and maturity despite his young age. Real Madrid see him as a long-term star, but with players like Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, and Kylian Mbappé, it may be difficult for Endrick to get regular minutes in his debut season.
Since joining Real Madrid, Endrick has had few chances to make an impact. Under Ex-Coach Carlo Ancelotti, he struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup and spent much of his time on the bench, as the team’s star-studded attack left little opportunity for a young player to develop.
Juventus are looking to capitalize on this situation. According to several reports in Italy and Spain, the Italian club has already reached out to Real Madrid to ask about a potential loan move for Endrick. Juventus believe the young forward would get more playing time in Serie A, helping both his development and their attacking options.

Juventus are looking to refresh their forward line. Dušan Vlahović has attracted interest from other clubs, and his future in Turin is unclear. Bringing in Endrick, even on loan, could give the team a dynamic and hungry striker who is eager to prove himself at the top level.
Real Madrid’s new head coach, Xabi Alonso, is reportedly open to loaning out Endrick if the club signs another backup striker to ensure squad depth. Madrid are careful not to rush the young Brazilian and may prefer he gains experience elsewhere before fighting for a starting spot in Spain.
This possible deal could benefit all parties. Endrick would get valuable first-team experience, Juventus would gain a talented young attacker, and Real Madrid would continue to develop their investment without risking his progress on the bench.
Nothing is finalized yet. Talks are still at an early stage, and Real Madrid are expected to monitor Endrick closely during pre-season before making a final decision. Still, Juventus have made their interest clear and are ready to move quickly if Madrid give the green light.
As the summer transfer window approaches, this story will be one to watch. A successful loan move could help Endrick grow faster and allow Juventus to strengthen their squad with one of football’s brightest young stars.
