REAL MADRID outcast Endrick has jetted off to Morocco with his wife after being frozen out by boss Xabi Alonso.
The 19-year-old wonderkid has been strongly linked with an exit from the Bernabeu in January after failing to feature in a game for Madrid this season.
Endrick was tipped for super-stardom when he joined for £62m last year and netted seven goals in 37 games during his first season.
He hasn’t featured since picking up a hamstring injury against Sevilla in May and missed the Club World Cup, meaning he wasn’t able to impress Alonso during pre-season.
He appears to be out of Alonso’s plans after not playing a single minute for Madrid this season and wasn’t called up by Brazil during the international break either.
And with time on his hands, Endrick has decided to fly out to Marrakech for a holiday with partner Gabriely Miranda, 24.

Miranda shared pictures of the couple riding camels in the desert as she distracted the youngster from his football woes.
Endrick wore a white vest and matching trousers while Miranda wore a traditional Moroccan headpiece, as she wrote in her caption: “Loving this place.”
The pair also had drinks outside while sitting on Moroccan floor cushions next to some candles, with Endrick appearing to be in good spirits.
He gestured with his hands in another picture while at dinner and later showed himself drenched in sweat while having a workout.
Miranda uploaded the pictures to her Instagram account, where she often gives her 1.3m followers an insight into to her glamorous lifestyle.
She married Endrick at a lavish ceremony last year and she rarely leaves his side – being spotted supporting the player around the world.
The couple reportedly have agreed to bizarre relationship ‘contract’ since they began dating.
It is said to include Endrick being banned from having a virtual girlfriend on the Grand Theft Auto video game or commenting on another girl’s post on Instagram.
His romantic break will give the player time to recharge his batteries ahead of a big January transfer window, with Serie A side Juventus linked to the Brazilian.
Spanish outlet Cadena SER recently claimed he also had interest from clubs in Germany and France and said Madrid would consider loaning him out.
It came after his manager Alonso called for calm around Endrick’s future and urged the teenager to be patient.
Speaking before the international break, he said: “There is a lot of competition now, in his position and in the surrounding areas as well. His time will come.”

However, club legend Guti encouraged him to seek an exit, telling DAZN: “If he doesn’t get any opportunities between now and December, I think his best option is to leave so he can continue to grow.
“For a young player, the best thing is to get playing time.”
