Endrick has received interest from AC Milan to leave as a player of Real Madrid through a loan in this final stretch of the market. Gerry Cardinale, the owner of the Italian club, has personally contacted the representatives of the 20-year-old Brazilian forward to explore the possibilities of closing the deal.

The development was revealed by Matteo Moretto and comes at a time of direct competition for Endrick within the squad. Real Madrid is not currently considering facilitating his departure, although José Mourinho is increasingly giving prominence to Carlos Espí during the preseason.

Endrick becomes part of AC Milan's plans

AC Milan has taken a direct step to assess Endrick's availability. Cardinale has personally intervened in the contacts with the player's entourage, with a loan proposed as a way to incorporate him for the 2026-27 season.

The situation is reminiscent of what Endrick experienced last season. Real Madrid loaned him to Olympique Lyon until June 30, 2026, after his chances at the Santiago Bernabéu were limited during the first half of the season.

His time in France allowed him to regain continuity. The forward concluded his loan with five goals and seven assists in 16 games, a performance that enabled him to return to Madrid with the possibility of competing for a spot in Mourinho's squad.

Endrick also remains under contract with Real Madrid until 2030, so a potential departure would again be considered in the form of a loan rather than a permanent transfer. The club retains sporting control over a player for whom they made a significant investment when agreeing to his arrival from Palmeiras.

Carlos Espí gaining ground at Real Madrid

The key development shaping Endrick's future is the performance of Carlos Espí. The Spanish forward has seized the preseason to become the team's top scorer with three goals in 153 minutes, having made only five attempts at goal, four of which were on target. Currently, Endrick still has the confidence of Florentino Pérez.

Mourinho was looking for a forward capable of offering a different profile to Kylian Mbappé, and Espí has been delivering since his arrival. His performances against Ferencváros and Schalke 04 have increased the competition for minutes designated to the second forward within the squad before the start of LaLiga.

Endrick has also been involved in the preparation and remains in the coach's plans. Real Madrid ended the preseason undefeated after five wins and one draw, with Mourinho utilizing various offensive alternatives before the official start of the championship.

The next move will now be made by AC Milan. The Italian club will need to verify if Real Madrid changes its stance and agrees to consider a new loan before the market closes. Until that happens, Endrick will continue to compete with Espí for minutes, and all signs point to him starting the LaLiga season at the Santiago Bernabéu.
