Real Madrid legend Guti has urged Endrick to leave the Spanish giant in January noting that his development is being stalled at Santiago Bernebeu.
Endrick is yet to make his official debut for Real Madrid despite featuring in several matchday squads, prompting Guti to suggest that a temporary move would be the “best option” for his development, as reported by DAZN via Madrid Universal.
Speaking during a broadcast, the former midfielder stressed the importance of regular playing time for a young player’s growth and warned against waiting too long for an opportunity at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Guti believes the upcoming winter window presents a perfect chance for Endrick to gain valuable experience elsewhere. “If he doesn’t get any opportunities between now and December, I think his best option is to leave so he can continue to grow,” He stated. “For a young player, the best thing is to get playing time.”
Despite being tipped to play at the highest level under Alonso, Endrick finds himself down the attacking pecking order.
Alonso has so far preferred established options like Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz, as well as fellow youth product Gonzalo Garcia.
Guti acknowledged the difficult path into the starting XI for the Brazilian. “What could be decisive? Well, you never know. There are always injuries and moments where the coach bets on you, but that doesn’t seem to be his priority right now,” he added.
While Guti is willing to see the youngster pursue a loan move and Real Madrid reportedly willing to go that route, Endrick and his representatives are said to be hesitant.
The Brazilian’s camp would prefer to remain in the Spanish capital, trusting that an opportunity to impress Alonso will eventually materialise.
