The top 10 Brazilian "parallel imports" in Real Madrid s history: taking stock of the Samba spirits lost at the Bernabeu

The 18-year-old striker Endric performed mediocrely in Real Madrid's season debut against Valencia on Saturday and failed to meet the expectations of the outside world. The "talented forward" who joined from Palmeiras a year ago is expected to be loaned to French Ligue 1 club Lyon in January next year, and negotiations are currently progressing smoothly.

Throughout the history of Real Madrid, Brazilian players have never been absent. Some people are crowned legends here, while others leave sadly. The following ten members of the Selecao failed to fulfill their expectations in this top club.

10. Fernando Giudicelli

As one of the first Brazilian players introduced by Real Madrid, this midfielder transferred from Sporting CP in January 1936. However, he only made one appearance in half a year. In July of the same year, he switched to the French club Antibes, which can be called a "flash in the pan" in Real Madrid's career.

9. Canario

A forward player who joined the Brazilian American team in August 1959. Although he has been with the team for three years, he has never been able to prove himself: he only scored 6 goals in 35 games. He switched to Sevilla in July 1962, leaving behind a period of frustration in white clothes.

8. Vitor

The Brazilian central defender joined from Sao Paulo in August 1993. He was expected to strengthen the defense, but he only played 3 times in half a year. He hurriedly returned to Brazil in January 1994, and his Real Madrid career was as short as fireworks.

7. Rodrigo Fabbri

belonged to Real Madrid from 1998 to 2003, but did not even get a formal chance to play. After leaving the team, he even switched to the city's rival Atletico Madrid. He can be called the "most invisible" Real Madrid Brazilian.

6. Fabinho

Although he later became a world-class defensive midfielder in Monaco and Liverpool, when he was loaned to Real Madrid in the 2012-13 season, he only struggled in Castilla (second team). At that time, Real Madrid's midfield included superstars such as Kroos and Modric, and the young Fabinho only received one first-team appearance.

5. William José

During his loan spell in 2014, this high center forward mainly represented the second team and only made one appearance in the first team and did not leave an impression. After the lease ended, he was returned to the Uruguay Maldonado team, and it was not until later that he found his form at Real Sociedad.

4. Vinicius Tobias

was a rising star at right back who had high hopes, but his performance was mediocre even in the second team. He only got one chance to appear in the first team, and eventually returned to Shakhtar Donetsk due to fierce competition within the team. Miners are currently under contract until 2029.

3. Lucas Silva

After Modric was injured in 2015, Real Madrid urgently signed him from Cruzeiro for 13 million euros. However, his performance in nine appearances in half a year was mediocre, and he was abandoned without an adaptation period. He eventually returned to Brazil after playing in Marseille.

2. Reinier

In 2020, Real Madrid signed a "genius midfielder" from Flamengo for 30 million euros, but he has been continuously loaned out to teams such as Dortmund and Girona and still failed to prove himself. He left the team as a free agent this summer. The 23-year-old now returns to Atletico Mineiro in Brazil to seek rebirth.

1. Enderrick

Real Madrid spent 48 million euros to book a "future star" from Palmeiras, but his 7 goals in 38 games in the past year have fallen far short of expectations. With the arrival of Mbappe and the rise of youth training youngster Gonzalo, he has become the third choice forward. In urgent need of playing time, he will be loaned to Lyon in the winter window, but his contract will still last until 2030 with Real Madrid.

Conclusion

From Giudicelli to Enderrick, the Real Madrid stories of these Brazilian players remind us: The Bernabeu's stars are bright, but there is no shortage of regrets. Wearing a white robe requires carrying a huge weight. Only those with both strength and opportunities can create legends here
