Aston Villa target Endrick has been offered by Real Madrid to Italian giants Napoli, but the Brazilian does not particularly interest the Serie A side.

The 20-year-old had attracted interest from several Premier League heavyweights before arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2024 with considerable expectations surrounding his move.

The Brazilian, however, found regular first-team opportunities difficult to come by in the Spanish capital and was sent on loan to Lyon during the second half of last season.

Endrick made full use of his extended run of minutes in France, registering eight goals and eight assists across just 21 appearances to underline his attacking credentials.

Following the conclusion of the campaign, the striker returned to Real Madrid before subsequently joining Brazil’s World Cup squad.

Endrick’s future is now gathering pace, with Real Madrid exploring another loan spell for the striker as Aston Villa have developed an interest in taking him on a similar move.

The Villans have already sanctioned a loan addition in attack this summer with Alejandro Garnacho arriving from Chelsea, with the arrangement capable of becoming permanent next season under certain conditions.

Endrick could become another loan addition at Villa Park, although Real Madrid are exploring several options for him.

Now, according to Italian outlet Quotidiano Sportivo, Real Madrid have ‘proposed’ Endrick to Napoli as a potential signing.

The Naples outfit, however, are not convinced by the Brazilian as an option and are showing no appetite for pursuing a deal.

Napoli’s current stance could prove encouraging for Aston Villa in their pursuit, although it remains to be seen whether the Italian outfit will reconsider their position.

The Serie A outfit could still land another Brazilian striker in Gabriel Jesus this summer, as they are looking to prise him away from Arsenal.

Even if Napoli do not enter the race, the Midlands outfit must still contend with Roma, who can also offer Champions League football to the player.
