Roma to try for Real Madrid’s Endrick again in January | OneFootball

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma will try to bring Real Madrid starlet Endrick on loan in January.

The Giallorossi had all but agreed a deal bring the 20-year-old to the Italian capital in summer, only for former boss José Mourinho to block the move at the last minute.

Since then, Endrick has hardly played for Real Madrid, with Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti stating recently that not getting minutes could club football could affect players’ chances of national team selection under him.

Roma are keen to try again in January, and if he doesn’t get more minutes, Endrick is likely to push for a temporary exit again. He has had just for minutes on the pitch so far this season.

If Roma fail to land Endrick, they have other targets lined up in PSV’s Ruben van Bommel, Zenit’s Luiz Henrique, and Frosinone’s Giorgi Kvernadze.

Endrick needs to move

The most “at home” Endrick has looked ever since moving to Europe was during his six-month loan spell with Lyon, where he got going from minute one and registered eight goals and assists each in 21 appearances.

It is clear that Endrick has arrived at Real Madrid too early for his own good. He needs to play, and he needs to play now. Even if the avenues open to him are temporary, he needs to take them, and there are few clubs better than Roma for young forwards at the moment.
