Returning from a successful loan to Olympique Lyonnais where he scored 8 goals and delivered 8 goals in 21 matches last season, Endrick (20 years old) found good momentum. The Brazilian international (24 caps, 4 goals) was thus able to participate in the 2026 World Cup and returned to Real Madrid with great ambitions. However, the recruitment of Yan Diomandé from RB Leipzig and a muscle injury complicated things. Left on the bench, the former Palmeiras player only played four minutes of play against Elche (3-2) on September 15. A short entry into play which worries the player for the rest of the season.
The one who is under contract until June 2030 with Real Madrid has every interest in playing to continue to improve and this could result in a new loan in the winter transfer window like last season. Moreover, certain Italian teams showed up during the summer. AS Roma and AC Milan have placed their pawns just like Juventus. English club Aston Villa have also been announced as a suitor. In a few weeks, his situation has radically changed and now the native of Taguatinga is open to a new experience far from Casa Blanca. Olympique Lyonnais, which was able to count on his talent last season, was even rather open to his return.
Endrick prioritizes AC Milan
Blocked by the competitive sector of Casa Blanca with Kylian MbappĂ©, VinĂcius JĂşnior, Jude Bellingham, Yan DiomandĂ©, Carlos EspĂ, Brahim DĂaz and Rodrygo Goes, Endrick wants to play one match after another so as not to threaten his place in the selection. The race for Endrick’s loan promises to be contested and La Gazzetta dello Sport says a little more. The Italian newspaper with the pink pages explains that Endrick suggested to AC Milan that he would be in pole position in their wishes if he were to leave the Merengues this winter.
Already on the attack this summer, AC Milan hopes that this mark of confidence will pay off in the next transfer window. The Roc Nation agency, which represents Endrick, also maintains excellent relations with Gerry Cardinale, the owner of the transalpine team. Good reports which could prove decisive in the success or otherwise of the case. AC Milan will also really need Endrick since the Italian club has also just lost Alexis Saelemaekers for four months. Versatile, the Auriverde striker could play on the right wing or in support of Gonçalo Ramos. An option that appeals to the Italians, who therefore have a nice advantage in this matter.
