The 20-year-old forward was speaking after joining up with Brazil in Singapore for the national team’s November friendlies against Japan and the hosts. With speculation continuing over his future at the Santiago Bernabéu, Endrick was asked about the possibility of a move during the winter transfer window.
He made clear that he is not rushing into a decision, but also stressed that his ambitions as a young player must remain central to whatever happens next.
“I’m only 20 years old, so I’ll see how things develop. I just want to play, be happy and help my team-mates,” Endrick said.
“I don’t know what will happen in January. That is in God’s hands. I just ask for what is best for my career. Whatever is meant to happen will happen. I’ll keep my feet on the ground and continue giving my best.
“Madrid is a wonderful city, my family is there, but I will always do whatever is necessary to move my career forward.”
His comments leave the door open to a departure if that is what he believes will give him the best opportunity to develop. Endrick, however, was equally keen to underline his appreciation for the relationship he has built with Mourinho, whose personal attention has helped strengthen his motivation to succeed at the Spanish club.
The Brazilian revealed that the Real Madrid coach regularly contacts him, although their conversations are not necessarily about football.
“I have a lot of faith in Mourinho. Every day he gets in touch with me, not to talk about football, but to ask about my personal life,” Endrick explained.
The forward said that the support has made him even more determined to give everything for Real Madrid, where he recognises the importance of the club above individual ambitions.
“I will always give everything for Real Madrid because the club comes above everything else, but the affection and attention Mourinho shows me make me even more motivated to give my all,” he added.
Endrick also looked beyond the immediate question of his club future to discuss his ambitions with Brazil. He has already established himself as part of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for the national team and hopes to be in the strongest possible condition for the next major international tournaments.
Asked about the possibility of representing Brazil at the Olympic Games, he made clear that he would be willing to accept any opportunity offered to him.
“Wherever they call me, I will go,” he said.
He also has the 2030 World Cup firmly in his sights, with Brazil hoping to reclaim the title they last won in 2002.
“I hope that in 2030 I can be at my best level to help the national team. What we all want is to become World Cup champions again,” Endrick said.
Brazil’s November programme in Singapore begins against Japan on November 14 before the team faces the hosts three days later, on November 17.
