According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Sociedad has inquired with Real Madrid about the possibility of loaning Endrick.

The report states that Real Sociedad is accelerating its activity in the final phase of the summer transfer window. Beyond strengthening their central defense, which is their primary objective, the club also hopes to recruit a forward with the ability to exploit space behind the defensive line. Mundo Deportivo has learned that Real Sociedad recently inquired with Real Madrid about Endrick's situation.

This is not the first time Real Sociedad has pursued Endrick. A year ago, both clubs nearly completed a loan agreement, but the deal fell through due to Endrick's recurring injuries. Now, Real Sociedad has once again asked Real Madrid about the Brazilian striker's situation and future plans, hoping to bring him to San Sebastián on loan. They continue to monitor this potential deal.

However, Real Sociedad is not the only club interested in Endrick. Real Betis and Villarreal have also made inquiries with Real Madrid. All three clubs can participate in European competitions, and playing in a European tournament is Endrick's preferred platform to continue his development.

Real Madrid's high-profile summer signings—Diomandé, though not a traditional center forward, and pure number 9 Carlos Espí—may be pushing Endrick toward leaving. Meanwhile, striker Gonzalo, whom Real Sociedad had been close to recruiting, has joined Fulham, managed by Arbeloa.

Endrick, 20, recently made his World Cup debut for Brazil, but his performance fell short of expectations. Since officially joining Real Madrid at age 18, he has never secured consistent playing time.

Real Sociedad fans are familiar with Endrick. In both legs of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey semifinal, he scored against Real Sociedad and helped Real Madrid eliminate them in extra time at the Bernabéu, leaving a strong impression.

Endrick possesses exceptional goal-scoring ability and talent. To date, he has made 40 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 7 goals. During his loan spell at Lyon in the second half of last season, he scored 8 goals in 21 appearances.

Real Sociedad is looking to recruit a forward who can play inside and is highly mobile, and Endrick fits these requirements. Although he is a center forward, there is virtually no possibility of him playing as a winger in Real Sociedad's current system.

It should be noted that Real Sociedad coach Matarazzo has long wanted Oyarzabal, who recently won the World Cup with Spain, to play more as a number 10, meaning he could potentially start alongside Oskarsson or Endrick in the future. The team's third center forward option is Carrera. However, this deal is currently in the exploratory stage, and there is still considerable distance to cover before any agreement is finalized.
