Liverpool Reportedly Preparing Offer for Real Madrid Forward Endrick

Overview

• Brazilian expert Tim Vickery told talkSPORT on Thursday that sources in Brazil say Liverpool are preparing a big-money offer for 20-year-old Endrick.
• Several reports say the proposed fee would be lower than the sum Real Madrid paid Palmeiras for Endrick, which outlets have reported at up to £60m.
• Real Madrid have kept Endrick in the first-team squad for now, the player has ruled out a summer exit and José Mourinho rejected recent loan approaches while planning a January reassessment.
• Analysts note a tactical question over fit at Anfield because Endrick performed best as a second striker at Lyon and may not match the wide, defensive-tracking role associated with Mohamed Salah.
• No formal bid or agreement has been confirmed and multiple outlets describe the move as a longshot, so the story will hinge on whether Liverpool raises its valuation or Madrid reopens talks in January.
