Ex-Barcelona attacker sends message of encouragement to struggling Real Madrid star

Former Barcelona frontman Memphis Depay has taken to social media, to send a message of encouragement the way of Real Madrid youngster Endrick.

This of course comes amid what has been a hugely trying campaign for the Brazilian to date.

Endrick has for his part barely featured in the colours of Real Madrid in 2025/26.

Sitting behind both Kylian Mbappé and Gonzalo García in the centre-forward pecking order in Spain’s capital, the 19-year-old has been afforded just three appearances across all competitions.

Such woes have given rise to understandable frustration on Endrick’s part, with the striker having recently been shown a straight red card from the bench after letting his emotions get the better of him.

And as alluded to above, in the midst of as much, Endrick has this week received strong backing from something of a surprise source.

Taking to the comments section of the starlet’s most recent post on Instagram, Memphis Depay wrote:

‘Patience. Your time will arrive soon’
