Five players urged to move in January transfer window including Real Madrid's Endrick
Khel Now published on 2026-11-10 a list naming five players who should move clubs in the January transfer window, citing limited minutes and squad congestion; the piece includes Real Madrid forward Endrick among those advised to seek a move.
With the season approaching its second half, the article says many clubs will be active in the January window to reinforce squads and that several players are seeking more playing time, with some preferring permanent transfers and others pursuing loan moves.
The report argues that Díaz has been increasingly marginalised at Real Madrid after a heavy inflow of attacking talent at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Arda Güler’s progress and returning forwards further limiting his route into the starting XI; it adds he represents Morocco internationally and that Los Blancos’ only chance to profit from him before his contract expires at the end of the season is the January transfer window.
On Barcelona’s Gavi, the article states that early in the 2026–27 season he made just eight appearances with two starts amid fierce midfield competition, which prompted frustration and concern about his progress, and notes that teams like Napoli have monitored his situation ahead of potential loan or transfer moves.
Alejandro Balde is identified as another player who should consider leaving in January because of reduced playing time under manager Hansi Flick, frequent omission from starting lineups or short substitute appearances and a decline in the left-back hierarchy; the piece says Manchester United and other clubs are watching and could offer the guaranteed starting role and financial terms Barcelona desire, and that he is now the least-used full-back this season so far.
The article recommends a loan for 19-year-old Brazilian international Estêvão Willian to secure regular minutes, stating he has played very few minutes early in the season—roughly 23 to 47 minutes in the Premier League and 172 minutes overall across all competitions—and has fallen behind options such as Mike Penders, while Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Pedro Neto occupy Chelsea’s attacking and creative positions under manager Xabi Alonso.
It also lists Endrick among players advised to seek a loan and says AC Milan and AS Roma are keeping a close eye on the Real Madrid talent and may be able to guarantee him playing time for the second half of the season; the article adds, "Under manager José Mourinho, the 20-year-old Brazilian attacker has battled for matches, recording just 141 minutes across seven appearances in all competitions with just one start."
The piece concludes that the January transfer window provides the immediate opportunity for these players to pursue permanent moves or temporary loans in order to secure more regular first-team football.
