Milan plot January loan for Endrick with Roma also in the running for the Real Madrid talent | OneFootball

Milan have not given up on Endrick, with the Brazilian’s lack of minutes at Real Madrid opening the door to a January move.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, via TuttoMercatoWeb, the Rossoneri looked at him over the summer without the deal progressing. The situation could shift now, with competition for places in Madrid’s attack leaving Endrick struggling for continuity and physical problems having slowed his progress further.

Loan the likeliest route for Endrick to Italy

A temporary deal is seen as the most realistic structure. Real Madrid still regard Endrick as part of their long-term plans and would be reluctant to give up control, so a loan suits both parties if his minutes do not improve over the coming weeks.

Milan see a player whose age, quality and ceiling make him worth pursuing. They may also have an advantage in their long-standing relationship with Roc Nation, the agency that represents him.

They are not alone, though. Roma have made initial soundings with the player’s entourage, and other European clubs would likely join if Madrid genuinely opened the door.

Nothing is advanced. Much depends on how much Jose Mourinho uses him between now and the winter window.
