The latest news from Real Madrid places Endrick, a 20-year-old Brazilian forward, among the targets of AC Milan for the January 2027 transfer market. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian club aims to secure his loan and has received a €50 million injection of capital from their owner, Gerry Cardinale, to strengthen their financial capacity.
Real Madrid will have to decide whether to authorize another temporary departure of the attacker, who has barely played four minutes at the start of the season under the guidance of José Mourinho. Milan believes they can take advantage of his lack of prominence to sign him for the second half of the season.
According to the latest information from Italy, the Brazilian has shown willingness to consider joining Milan's project. However, there is still no confirmed agreement between both clubs, and any deal will require approval from the white club.
Milan wants to take Endrick from Real Madrid in January
AC Milan has placed Endrick among their priorities for the upcoming winter market. The preferred approach by the Italian entity would be a loan, an option that would allow them to incorporate the forward without immediately facing the cost of a permanent transfer.
The operation is backed by the sporting director Rúben Amorim, coach of the Italian team, who is looking for new offensive alternatives to tackle the second half of the 2026/27 season.
The Brazilian has had few opportunities since his return to Real Madrid. After spending the second half of the last season at Olympique Lyon, he returned to Madrid hoping to convince Mourinho, but his involvement has been limited to four minutes in the first eight official matches.
His situation contrasts with his performances in France. During his loan spell at Lyon, Endrick scored eight goals and seven assists in 21 games, figures that explain the interest of other teams in offering him continuity.
In addition to Milan, clubs such as Roma and Aston Villa have also been linked with a possible signing of the forward. The competition could intensify as the winter market opening approaches.
Milan has €50 million to strengthen and negotiate with Real Madrid
Milan's bid has been reinforced by an economic decision by Gerry Cardinale. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the American owner has contributed €50 million to the club's capital and envisions further investments in the coming months.
This move comes after the Italian club recorded losses of €24 million in the last financial year. Milan also allocated around €160 million to signings during the summer market.
The entity's goal is to strengthen a squad that currently holds the fifth position in Serie A and has missed out on the Champions League for two consecutive seasons.
The sporting department is working on two main operations. In addition to Endrick, they aim to bring in Gonçalo Inácio, a center-back from Sporting de Portugal for whom they have reportedly submitted a proposal exceeding €40 million during the summer.
The financial disparity between these two signings influences the strategy. While Inácio would require an investment for a transfer, securing the Brazilian on loan would allow the available resources to be distributed among different positions.
The next step will be to determine if Real Madrid is willing to negotiate a new loan deal for Endrick in January 2027. Milan aims to make progress before the market opens, but the decision hinges on José Mourinho, the Madrid sporting department, and the guarantees of playing time that the Italian team can offer.
