A storm may be brewing inside the walls of one of the biggest clubs in the world.

According to Marca, young Brazilian sensation Endrick was left visibly upset in the dressing room after learning that the shirt number he had his eyes on had been given to another rising star. Witnesses described his expression as “not happy at all” — and the fallout may be more serious than anyone expected.

Sources close to the situation claim that Endrick, who has been hailed as one of Brazil’s next generational talents, was disappointed and frustrated by the club’s decision to assign a symbolic squad number — one he had privately hoped to inherit — to another player without prior discussion.

Tension Behind the Scenes

While the number in question has not been officially confirmed, insiders believe it was one deeply tied to Endrick’s personal aspirations and identity as a player. The number reportedly held sentimental value for him, possibly linked to his childhood idols or early career milestones.

The moment he found out in the dressing room, Marca reports, Endrick’s mood changed instantly. “He went from excited to withdrawn. He didn’t speak much after,” said a source present during the scene.

Request to Leave?

What’s more shocking is that Endrick has now allegedly asked to leave the club immediately.

His representatives have reportedly contacted club officials to request urgent talks regarding his future, citing feelings of being undervalued and overlooked in internal decisions.

While many would see the dispute over a shirt number as minor, those close to the young striker argue this is about more than just a number. It reflects respect, trust, and how the club sees him among the new generation of talent.

Fan Reactions and Uncertainty

The news has caused a stir among fans, with social media divided between those who sympathize with Endrick’s reaction and others urging him to stay focused and prove himself on the pitch.

One fan wrote, “He’s young and emotional, sure. But asking to leave over a number? That’s not what legends do.”

Another responded, “This isn’t about the number. It’s about how the club handled it. If they promised him something and went back on it, he has every right to be upset.”

What Happens Next?

At the time of writing, there has been no official statement from the club or Endrick’s camp. However, the situation is evolving rapidly. Team officials are reportedly working behind the scenes to calm tensions and prevent a potentially high profile fallout before the season begins.

Whether Endrick remains with the club or seeks a new beginning elsewhere, one thing is clear: the calm smile the world is used to seeing from the Brazilian prodigy was missing — and his future now hangs in the balance.
