Real Madrid president holds talks with Juventus over loan deal for out-of-favour starlet | OneFootball

Endrick is one of the few players who is struggling to get any minutes under the leadership of Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid this season.

The young attacker, whose progress was halted by an injury since the end of the last season, is yet to feature in a single minute since returning to full fitness.

Endrick has fallen behind Kylian Mbappe and Gonzalo Garcia in the pecking order, which has led to talks of a potential loan exit from the Bernabeu in January.

Real Madrid and Juventus hold talks

As things stand, Endrick could be on his way to Juventus in the upcoming winter transfer window.

That is because Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was involved in a meeting with Juventus’ top boss Gianluca Ferrero earlier this afternoon, ahead of their Champions League match, reports Defensa Central.

As per the report, the possibility of Endrick’s potential move to Turin was discussed during the meeting and the ball is now firmly on Juventus’ court.

Real Madrid have given Juventus a deadline of mid-December for them to figure out Endrick’s routine and how much he would fit into their plans.

Real Madrid consider Juventus a friendly club. Therefore, the club do not completely rule out the idea of potentially selling the Brazilian international permanently when the time comes and provided both parties are interested in a change.

Endrick, for his part, is keen on making an impact at Real Madrid. But it is clear that he is not a part of Alonso’s plans and therefore, a January switch to Juventus could make sense.

The coming few weeks, to that end, could be critical as Juventus look to explore the idea of signing the young attacker on a loan deal. Manchester United, too, are reportedly keen on signing the player.
