Overview
- Endrick’s representatives are actively sounding out January moves because the 20‑year‑old has logged only about 110 minutes and one league start for Real Madrid this season.
- Real Madrid want a simple temporary loan so they keep long‑term control of the forward and are reluctant to include a purchase option.
- Arsenal have maintained contact but prefer a loan that includes an option to buy, a stance that clashes with Madrid’s terms and makes a deal harder to progress.
- Clubs willing to accept a dry loan — notably AC Milan, AS Roma, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Tottenham — are better placed to take the lead in January negotiations.
- A January move would aim to secure regular minutes to aid Endrick’s development after a productive loan at Lyon last season and could force interested clubs to reshuffle their attacking plans.
