Endrick is more likely to stay at Real Madrid than leave on loan this season, multiple sources have told ESPN.
The Brazil forward, 20 -- who spent the second half of last season on loan at Lyon -- has been in demand during this transfer window.
However, sources told ESPN that he is keen to stay in Madrid, with the upcoming birth of his first child, due in October, a major factor.
Madrid let young forward Gonzalo GarcÃa join Fulham this summer, and then signed Carlos Espà from Levante, although sources said the latter's arrival will not affect Endrick's future.
Despite Endrick's preference to remain in Madrid, another loan cannot be entirely ruled out, sources said.
If he were to depart, a move to the Premier League would be a priority, to continue his development at the highest level.
If Madrid opt for a move, they would be willing to consider a loan with a purchase option, while retaining a percentage of the player's rights, sources said, although a final decision has not yet been made.
Endrick has impressed for Madrid in preseason, scoring in their 2-2 friendly draw against Fiorentina.

He has been linked with Roma and Aston Villa, but Madrid have received no formal offer, and sources close to the player have denied holding talks with any other clubs.
He received the number nine shirt in Madrid's provisional squad list for the 2026-27 season.
