Serie A giants ready to battle it out for the services of Real Madrid star in January – report It has been reportedly widely that Endrick is not happy with his game-time at Real Madrid this season and could explore a move away from the club in the upcoming January transfer window. After a stellar loan spell at Lyon, expectations were high that Endrick could become the breakout star at Real Madrid this season. But the reality has been quite the opposite. While a pre-season injury saw him miss a few matches initially, the forward has now struggled for minutes even after returning to full fitness, racking up just four minutes of action all season.

It appears both clubs are keen on the Brazilian, with Roma, who happen to be Real Madrid’s next Champions League opponents, and AC Milan leading the chase. Given Endrick’s age and the significant investment Real Madrid made in him, only a loan move is being contemplated at this stage. Endrick finds himself stuck behind both Kylian Mbappe and Carlos Espi in the pecking order, with the latter having scored twice this season in limited minutes. His sole appearance under Jose Mourinho came in a four-minute cameo against Elche. A nightmare turning sour Endrick set for another loan spell? (Photo by David Balogh/Getty Images) What was meant to be a breakthrough campaign has instead become a frustrating ordeal for Endrick. Having rejected a second loan in the summer, with Aston Villa among those interested, the Brazilian chose to stay and fight for his place following Gonzalo Garcia’s departure. However, the surprise emergence of Espi has only pushed him further down the order, leaving his European dream looking more like a nightmare. Even on international duty, Endrick struggled to make his mark, failing to start two of Brazil’s three friendlies during the break. For Endrick, a January exit now appears his best route to regaining form and confidence. With Roma and Milan circling, a temporary move to Serie A could be exactly what the young striker needs to reignite his stalling career.
