have had a decent start to their 2025/26 season despite a rare hiccup against city rivals Atletico Madrid, they are currently leading the La Liga points table and will look to continue to do so.
Los Blancos have been pragmatic in their approach under Xabi Alonso and hence they have a two-point lead over before heading into the international break in October.
Amidst all the positivity, Endrick is gradually growing frustrated at the Spanish capital as he has gone down the pecking order for Alonso and is yet to play even a single minute this season.
Therefore, the teenager is open to a loan move in January and according to Matteo Moretto's reports Juventus have emerged as a possible destination for the Brazilian starlet.

Apart from Juventus, are interest in the teenage sensation on a January loan deal. It will be interesting to see where the Brazilian decides to move.
Juventus already have players like Lois Openda, Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic in a striker role, so a move to West Ham United makes more sense as he would be competing with Niclas Fullkrug and Callum Wilson at the Premier League outfit, if the move materializes.
Several clubs in Spain, Italy and Germany were interested in him in the summer transfer window, but Real Madrid blocked the move.
Endrick is known for his ability to score goals at a consistent rate with his excellent movement and ball-striking ability. But the youngster desperately needs to improve his physical attributes and ball holding skills upfront.
For now, getting regular gametime will be his priority in January as he is desperate to secure his spot in the Brazilian national team and feature in next year's World Cup.
