August 11, 2026 marked a significant day for Real Madrid fans, as the club faced several inquiries about their players. Fede Valverde, despite past dressing room incidents, remained steadfast in his desire to stay at the club. Real Madrid, however, was hit with interest from multiple sources, specifically for Tchouaméni and Camavinga.
The highly anticipated transfer window saw both players facing strong interest from the Premier League. Real Madrid, counting on both players, considered an exit as a means to bring in a new midfielder. José Mourinho, the team's coach, believed Endrick, a rising talent at Lyon, could be an important player this season. Mourinho directed the club to halt all talks of a loan for Endrick.
Florentino Pérez, the club's president, supported this decision, as he harbored a strong desire for the player. Endrick accepted the decision, feeling positive about his future at Real Madrid. The summer, far from over, promised much for the loyal Madrid supporters.
