Real Madrid has decided
“Endrick has a place in Madrid”writing A.S.. Endrick will return directly to Madrid after his loan to Lyon and the decision seems made. Real Madrid informed him that he now has his place in the squad, boosted by his 7 goals and 6 assists in 18 matches in France, and by a possible World Cup which will bring him even more experience. The club sees him both as an offensive joker capable of playing right winger and as the future reference attacker after Mbappé. The bet on Endrick is considered final, Madrid having already invested almost 80 million euros between the transfer, bonuses and salary since his arrival from Palmeiras.
New offensive track for Barça
On the Barça side, Chelsea’s Brazilian striker, João Pedro, is one of the candidates for the striker position for next season according to A.S.. The 24-year-old, who arrived at Chelsea last summer for nearly 65 million euros, is appreciated for his versatility, his work and his not very selfish profile, which fits well with the style sought at Barcelona. FC Barcelona sees him as “plan B” in case the Julián Álvarez file does not resolve. But here again, the operation promises to be perilous. João Pedro’s very long contract at Chelsea (until 2033) and the economic context of the Catalan club make his arrival difficult. However, the club remains ready to explore the avenue if it manages to free up funds through departures.
The story should continue
Luka Modric wants to extend for another season with Milan. The Croatian does not want to end his career without having played the Champions League with Allegri, and Milan could benefit from a clause allowing them to automatically extend it. Despite his broken cheekbone depriving him of the last four matches, he felt immense affection from the club, the team and the supporters. However, he will wait until the end of the World Cup, in which he will participate for the fifth time at the age of 40, to really test his physical level and his motivation.
