New Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho intends to utilise the talents of young frontman Endrick in more than one role on the pitch this coming season.
That’s according to The Athletic who have on Tuesday provided an insight into the situation of the Brazilian.
Endrick has of course seen his name take its place front and centre in the media headlines surrounding Real Madrid across the summer to date. At one point, it appeared as though the 20-year-old, despite impressing with Lyon over the 2nd half of last season, was set to be farmed out on a fresh loan.
In the end, however, the aforementioned Mourinho and his staff made the call to keep hold of Endrick, at least for the time being.
And as alluded to above, this week, an insight into one of the key reasons why has come to the fore online. The info comes courtesy of reliable outlet The Athletic, who confirm:
‘Mourinho does not see Bernardo Silva or Federico Valverde as regular performers on the right wing, so in addition to Yan Diomande and Brahim Diaz, he wants Endrick as an option for that position as well as at centre-forward.’
