Arsenal plotting ambitious move for Real Madrid attacker if his Bernabeu dream gets over | OneFootball

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Real Madrid attacker Endrick who has impressed on his loan spell at Lyon. The 19-year-old Brazilian wonderkid has been on a wild rollercoaster over the past year, and the latest whispers suggest Arsenal are waiting in the wings to offer him a permanent escape route.

According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, the Gunners are heavily monitoring his situation and are fully prepared to launch a blockbuster bid if Real Madrid decide to cash in.

After arriving in Spain with sky-high expectations, the teenager struggled to lock down consistent minutes under manager Xabi Alonso.

The situation got so tense that his father, Douglas Sousa, recently hit out at the Spanish giants in the media, claiming they had essentially “taken away his playground.”

Endrick has revived his career away from Real Madrid

Seeking a fresh start and regular playing time, Endrick secured a winter loan move to Olympique Lyonnais, a decision reportedly influenced by his wife, Gabriely Miranda.

In just a few short months in France, the explosive centre-forward has completely rediscovered his spark, racking up seven goals and seven assists in 18 appearances across all competitions.

He is playing with a smile on his face again, and Europe’s elite are taking notice.

Arsenal’s recruitment team has reportedly been tracking the Brazilian’s resurgence very closely.

Mikel Arteta is always on the hunt for dynamic, versatile forwards, and Endrick’s explosive pace, physical strength, and lethal left foot make him a dream fit for the physical demands of the Premier League.

Arsenal are waiting to see if they can sign the Brazilian

The North London club is ready to strike the second an opportunity arises. However, pulling this deal off will be incredibly difficult. Despite his frustrations earlier in the campaign, Real Madrid still view Endrick as a generational talent and a massive part of their long-term future.

He is tied down to a contract until the summer of 2030, meaning Florentino Perez holds all the cards and has absolutely no financial pressure to sell his prized asset.

If Endrick decides he wants guaranteed starter status rather than returning to a rotation role in Spain, he might just force the issue himself.

While a summer transfer currently remains a long shot, Arsenal are making sure they are first in line if the Brazilian’s Madrid dream officially comes to an end.
