Endrick’s comments about his lack of playing time at Real Madrid sparked fresh speculation over his immediate future at the Bernabeu this week.
The player is lacking minutes at Real Madrid and a move could be on the horizon as early as January, according to reports which linked the Brazilian player to AC Milan and Roma recently.
According to The Athletic, however, no decision has been made for Endrick to leave in January at Real Madrid. The Spanish club's hierachy and their manager, Jose Mourinho, want him to stay. The striker’s qualities are admired and club and coach believe he will have playing time.
"Media reports linking Endrick with a move to Sporting CP or Arsenal were described as untrue by multiple sources familiar with the situation. But back in the summer, several clubs did express an interest in signing him on loan, with Aston Villa and Roma among the strongest suitors. Roma still retain an interest in Endrick, as do their Serie A rivals Milan," writes The Athletic.
If any transfer discussion turns to a permanent transfer, however, The Athletic reports that the asking price would be higher than the €60 million that Real Madrid had agreed with Palmeiras, including the fixed fee and bonuses.
