The January transfer window is approaching, and rumours are growing increasingly strong surrounding various players who could be on the move. One of them is certainly Endrick, who is finding very little playing time at Real Madrid despite the promises made by Jose Mourinho. Milan, Roma and several Premier League clubs are interested in the Brazilian, while the player has not yet made a decision about his future.
Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto, in a YouTube video, provide an update on the situation surrounding the former Palmeiras player.
Romano begins:
"Endrick is at a stage where he is evaluating his future. On one side, there is Real Madrid, who do not want to let him go, from the president all the way to Jose Mourinho, who continues to reiterate this publicly. On the other side, the boy wants to play. I wanted to add a side note: Endrick's entourage, from ROC Nation, are making it known that the player has not said no to Milan, nor has he said no to anyone as of 12 November. He is still in an evaluation phase. Let's see what happens; there are two months ahead with Real Madrid. Football can change in five minutes. Today, Endrick's position is completely open, and he is a player – we were the first to speak about this – whom Milan like a lot. But it is true that Roma are also there, and there is a queue of many clubs ready to pursue him. I simply wanted to clarify that Endrick has not said no to Milan. He is keeping everything open while waiting to understand – if he leaves – what the best solution would be."
Moretto added
"A lot will depend on the player. During December, he will actually understand what kind of path he wants to take. At the moment, he is noticing this lack of playing time, so the loan option is gaining momentum. Roma have continued to keep the contacts alive for weeks. Roma want another striker because they believe that, with one or two additions, they can genuinely fight for something important this year. Keep an eye on Roma, but Milan were one of the first to make a move, and the relations between Cardinale and ROC Nation are excellent. As things stand, Roma have kept the contacts somewhat more active, but Milan are insisting."
Fabrizio Romano on Endrick again:
"In my opinion, whoever signs Endrick will pull off an incredible piece of business. Should the opportunity arise – whether it is a loan or any other type of arrangement – the player is very good, and you can see that when he is on the pitch."
