You're better off leaving - Real Madrid legend tells Brazil star after bench role

Real Madrid legend Guti has voiced concern over the stalled development of highly-rated young forward Endrick, urging the player to secure a loan move in January if his playing time doesn't improve.

Endrick, who joined Real Madrid to spark massive excitement among the fanbase, has yet to record a single minute on the pitch this season, despite regularly making the matchday squad.

Guti believes the upcoming winter transfer window presents the "best option" for Endrick to gain essential experience, as reported by DAZN via Madrid Universal.

The former Spain international stated that consistent time on the pitch is paramount for any young player's growth:

“If he doesn’t get any opportunities between now and December, I think his best option is to leave so he can continue to grow.

“For a young player, the best thing is to get playing time.”

Guti acknowledged that breaking into the starting XI is probably unlikely at this stage, given the manager's preference for established attackers such as Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz, as well as fellow youth product Gonzalo Garcia.

"What could be decisive? Well, you never know," Guti conceded. "There are always injuries and moments where the coach bets on you, but that doesn’t seem to be his priority right now."
