Benfica eye striker linked with Sporting this summer | OneFootball

Benfica is one of the teams interested in Endrick. The forward was linked to Sporting in the summer transfer window and, with no place at Real Madrid, he will leave the Merengue club during the January window, as he is not in Xabi Alonso's plans.

According to information provided by Ekrem Konur – a Turkish journalist specializing in transfer market matters – several clubs are interested in signing the player in the winter market, but Sporting is not among them.

Fabrizio Romano also confirmed that talks are already underway for the striker's departure, but did not provide further details.

In the summer market, besides being linked to Sporting, Endrick was also put on Newcastle’s radar. With Alexander Isak cutting ties with the Magpies, the English club was willing to pay 70 million euros for the Brazilian, but opted for Nick Woltemade instead.

This season, wearing the Real Madrid shirt, Endrick – valued at 35 million euros – has not yet been used by Xabi Alonso, spending the entire season on the bench. In 2024/25, the 19-year-old scored seven goals in 37 games (845 minutes).
