According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal have maintained contact with Endrick as the young Brazilian’s representatives explore the possibility of a move away from Real Madrid during the January transfer window. While the Spanish giants remain reluctant to part with the forward, his lack of playing time has cast doubt over his immediate future.
Arsenal would be willing to offer the 20-year-old a fresh start in the Premier League. The Gunners are said to be open to a loan deal, but would prefer any agreement to include an option to make the move permanent, a point that could prove crucial in negotiations.
Despite strong backing from manager Jose Mourinho and club president Florentino Perez, Endrick has struggled to establish himself in Madrid. He has started just one La Liga match this season and was left on the bench throughout Real Madrid’s recent victory over Barcelona, reportedly increasing his frustration.
AC Milan and Roma are also interested in the Brazilian and are prepared to offer loan deals without a purchase option, which is understood to be Real Madrid’s preferred arrangement. However, Endrick’s camp are exploring alternatives that could provide a more permanent solution.
Arsenal’s interest is also linked to their search for additional attacking reinforcements. Endrick’s ability to play across the front line makes him an attractive option for Mikel Arteta’s squad.
