Real Madrid have confirmed their confidence in Endrick, with coach José Mourinho decisively closing the issue of negotiations with Roma. In a press conference held the night before the match at the Olimpico, Mourinho declared that the Spanish club no longer intends to consider the possibility of a loan or purchase of the young Brazilian.
According to Mourinho, any club wanting to sign Endrick in January would have to "go over me and fight against me", stressing that the player is not destined to move elsewhere. He also expressed great respect for the player's talent, calling him "very strong" and stating that he will "explode" at Real Madrid. The coach reiterated that no loans are necessary, because Endrick is already ready to contribute significantly to the team.
Roma, who had shown interest in Endrick during the summer and had continued to think about it for the winter session as well, had to accept Real's decision. The Giallorossi club, which had closely followed the Brazilian's career, has nothing more to do regarding a possible transfer.
Mourinho closed the statement with the affirmation that Real Madrid fully believes in the player's potential and that there are no doubts about him. With this confirmation, Roma will have to reconsider their transfer strategies for the second half of the season, while Real Madrid will be able to count on Endrick as an integral part of their project.
