Real Madrid star decides to escape Mourinho's hell

4 minutes that turned the game on its head

Mourinho's hell has begun pushing one of Real Madrid's stars towards the exit door. A lack of game time has turned into a genuine crisis threatening Endrick's future at the Spanish club.

Just four minutes. That is all the young Brazilian striker has managed since the start of the season, caught in fierce competition that has left him outside the Portuguese coach's plans. The door is now open to a move that could take him far from the Santiago Bernabéu.

According to French website "Foot Mercato", the 20-year-old has played only four minutes across Real Madrid's eight matches this season. Several clubs are watching his situation closely, chief among them Roma and Milan.

Brazilian press reports rate the two Italian clubs as the leading candidates to sign Endrick in the winter window, having expressed their interest in recent months.

His lack of game time shows no sign of ending. The reports claim Endrick is now open to leaving Real Madrid in search of more opportunities, much like his six-month loan spell at Lyon last season.

Everything now hinges on whether the striker can carve out more space in the plans of Real Madrid's coaching staff over the coming weeks. If he cannot, the club could soon face a fresh decision over the future of one of its most promising young talents.
