The Italian and Spanish football circles are closely watching exciting developments concerning the future of the young Brazilian striker Endrick from Real Madrid, as there is significant interest from the Italian club Roma to acquire him on loan with an option to buy. These news come amid reports indicating that the player may not be part of the main plans of Real Madrid’s head coach, José Mourinho, in the coming period, opening the door for his departure from the Real Madrid fortress.
Italian media reports mentioned that the Brazilian striker does not seem to be part of Real Madrid’s new project, and that Roma is considering the possibility of loaning him, inspired by the scenario of Como’s signing of Argentine Nico Paz from the Madrid club. Despite Endrick’s excellent goal in a friendly against Fiorentina, these reports confirm that it might not be enough to guarantee his continuation with Real, as he will undergo a new evaluation by Mourinho in the coming days. Mourinho, especially, is impressed by Endrick’s abilities and versatility in playing in various attacking positions.
On the other hand, Spanish media reports indicated that Endrick is outside Mourinho’s plans, who seeks to sign a striker with greater physical strength that fits his tactical plans to play alongside French star Kylian Mbappé. Mourinho found his solution in signing Carlos Espe, Levante’s striker, after tough competition from several clubs to strengthen Real’s attack line.
Similarly, Damico, Roma’s sporting director, visited the Spanish capital Madrid to explore the readiness of Real Madrid’s officials to complete the Endrick deal, but the Spanish club has not shown clear willingness so far. Mourinho’s current attacking list includes Vinícius Júnior, Brahim Díaz, and Rodrygo, while Argentine Franco Mastantuono remains outside these plans. Despite being offered to Roma, the Italian club has not shown interest in signing him.
