Arsenal makes a move for Endrick
The Brazilian forward will be loaned out from Real Madrid in January, while several clubs compete for his incorporation.
Endrick, Brazilian forward 20 years old from Real Madrid, is set to be loaned in the winter transfer market of January 2027 due to a lack of minutes in José Mourinho's team. Roma and Sporting of Portugal have already shown interest in his addition, while Arsenal has also joined the race and is considering a move to strengthen their attack.
Arsenal enters the race for Endrick
The interest from Arsenal has gained momentum in recent days. According to TEAMtalk, the London club is in contact with Endrick's camp and is exploring the possibility of signing him in January through a loan with a purchase option.
Mikel Arteta's proposal has a significant difference compared to the Italian alternatives. Both Roma and Sporting of Portugal would be interested in a loan without a purchase option, a formula that would allow Real Madrid to recall the player at the end of the season.
Arsenal, on the other hand, considers including a definitive acquisition option in the agreement. This condition could become an obstacle for negotiations, as the Madrid entity still views the Brazilian as a player with potential within their sports project.
The situation also addresses the offensive needs of the English team. Arteta is looking to incorporate alternatives for the left winger and center forward positions, two roles in which Endrick can perform.

Roma and Sporting of Portugal also want his loan
The competition for Endrick is not limited to the Premier League. According to information published by AS on November 10, Sporting of Portugal has already made moves to try to secure his addition during the second half of the season, while Roma maintains its interest.
The Portuguese club has a significant sporting argument: Rui Borges knows the Brazilian's characteristics from his previous stint and believes he can offer him continuity. Additionally, his participation in the Champions League would allow the forward to keep European competition in his calendar.
Roma also represents a familiar alternative for the player. Last summer, he was close to joining the Italian side, but the deal did not materialize after Mourinho requested his continued presence in Madrid.
The Portuguese coach continues to support the forward, although his participation in the team has not met initial expectations. According to data published by AS, Endrick has accumulated 140 minutes in seven official matches, with only one start against Sevilla.
Real Madrid still wants to retain control over Endrick
The Brazilian's contract with Real Madrid runs until June 2030. The white club prefers a temporary operation that allows the player to accumulate minutes and return to the Santiago Bernabéu afterwards.
His previous experience at Olympique de Lyon serves as a reference. During the second half of last season, Endrick played 21 matches, with a balance of eight goals and seven assists, distributed over 1,663 minutes.
The player himself has acknowledged that he needs continuity to continue developing, although he has not yet made a definitive decision. He has also highlighted his good relationship with Mourinho and his commitment to Real Madrid.
The upcoming transfer window, which will open in January 2027, will be decisive. Arsenal, Roma, and Sporting of Portugal are closely monitoring his situation, but the contractual formula and guarantees of sporting participation will be decisive factors in choosing his destination.
