Real Madrid forward Endrick took a significant opportunity on Saturday to express his stance regarding his future at the club. With Kylian Mbappé currently absent due to his extended summer vacation, the Brazilian star was named in the starting lineup to lead the attack against Fiorentina.
Endrick made an immediate impact on the pitch, finding the back of the net within the first fifteen minutes of the match. Following his opening goal, the young talent appeared to direct a clear message toward the Real Madrid decision-makers watching from the boardroom. Amid ongoing speculation that he could be sent out on a new loan following the arrival of Carlos Espí in Madrid, Endrick celebrated by pointing directly at and kissing the Real Madrid badge on his jersey.
This gesture served as a public affirmation of his desire to remain with the Spanish giants, despite the swirling rumors regarding his potential departure. The match itself concluded in a competitive fashion, with both sides finishing the friendly encounter in a 2-2 draw.
