Overview
- Real Madrid told several Italian clubs they will not consider offers for 20-year-old Endrick this summer, a stance reported by multiple transfer outlets over the past 48 hours.
- President Florentino Pérez, manager José Mourinho and the club hierarchy are aligned in wanting Endrick to remain at the Bernabéu and compete for minutes rather than leave on loan now.
- AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale personally contacted Real Madrid and Endrick’s agents to explore a loan, but his approach ran into an immediate refusal from Los Blancos.
- Endrick persuaded the club and Mourinho that he wants to stay and fight for a place after a productive half-season at Lyon where he scored eight goals and provided eight assists in 21 matches.
- Real Madrid have left the situation open to change if squad dynamics shift, meaning a departure could still happen in the coming days or more likely in January if Endrick's playing time is limited.
