Overview
- Reports from multiple outlets show José Mourinho wants Endrick to stay in the first-team squad for the 2026–27 season and has been impressed by the forward’s return to pre-season training.
- AS Roma have actively scouted Endrick and discussed a structured loan with a purchase clause plus a Real buyback option, following a template used in previous deals.
- Real’s recruitment this summer, including the signing of Carlos Espi and other forward moves, has increased competition for minutes and driven external interest in loaning Endrick.
- Endrick himself is reported to prefer remaining at Madrid to fight for playing time after a productive loan at Lyon and recent Brazil national-team recognition.
- Madrid’s public stance is to preserve contractual leverage and player development pathways, meaning only an exceptional bid would change the club’s plan and interest in buyback-style deals may shape any transfer outcome.
