Mourinho might reconsider stance on Real Madrid forward in January amid Liverpool, Milan interest After coming back to Santiago Bernabeu with heaps of promise and an excellent loan spell at Lyon, Endrick’s season hasn’t really unfolded the way he was hoping for. The Brazilian international’s progress has been slowed by injuries and a lack of game-time. The fact that Real Madrid have landed on a brilliant deal by signing Carlos Espi doesn’t help things either. All of these factors have led to question marks over Endrick’s future, with AS Roma credited with interest in the forward in the upcoming January transfer window.

However, that decision could yet be revisited if Endrick fails to earn regular minutes over the coming months. As mentioned earlier, the situation is complicated further by the impact of Espi . The young Spaniard has hit the ground running, scoring a dramatic winner on his debut against Espanyol, and his form has left Endrick further down the pecking order in attack. With Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr firmly established as undisputed starters, and Espi now ahead of him too, opportunities look set to be scarce for the Brazilian.

Cox/Getty Images) Brennan claims Liverpool remain open to taking the forward on loan, while AC Milan are also expected to enter the race, setting up potential competition for his signature. A temporary move could suit all parties, allowing Endrick to gain the regular football his development requires. The frustration for Endrick is that his season began at a disadvantage. Injuries disrupted his start to the campaign, and although he was named in the squad for the Champions League clash with Inter Milan, he did not feature. For now, Mourinho wants to evaluate the Brazilian properly once he is fully fit, to determine whether he can be a useful option from the bench. But if the minutes do not come, another loan move in January could become the most sensible solution for a player still desperate to succeed at Real Madrid.
