Frustrated Endrick still wanted by Roma and Milan for Real Madrid loan

Frustrated Endrick still wanted by Roma and Milan for Real Madrid loan Roma and Milan could try again in January to take Endrick on loan from Real Madrid after Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti complained he ‘needs playing time to develop.’ The two Serie A sides had already made an approach over the summer, hoping to replicate the vision that the Merengues had when loaning Franco Mastantuono to Fiorentina.

There was only one four-minute cameo appearance so far this season in the 3-2 victory over Elche, remaining on the bench for three fixtures, and injured for another four. It is a situation that has frustrated former Milan coach Ancelotti, now in charge of the Brazil national team.

Without playing, they cannot develop. “We have some very young and promising talents, and Endrick will become important for Brazil in future, but they need to play.” BUDAPEST, HUNGARY – AUGUST 8: Endrick of Real Madrid during the match between Ferencvarosi TC and Real Madrid at Groupama Arena on August 8, 2026 in Budapest, Hungary.

Roma and Milan hope that they can convince the player and Real Madrid to let him try again mid-season, but this time in Serie A.
