Overview
- Arsenal made fresh enquiries and, according to several reports, an official late‑window approach to Real Madrid about signing Endrick as they sought a replacement for Gabriel Martinelli.
- Real Madrid and manager José Mourinho have publicly stated that Endrick is not for sale and that the club intends to integrate him into the squad this season.
- Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on Friday that both Real Madrid and Endrick have mutually decided he will remain at the club and has no intention to leave this summer.
- Endrick is currently sidelined with a tendon/hamstring problem that has kept him out of Real Madrid’s opening matches and complicated any last‑minute move.
- Endrick impressed on loan at Lyon with eight goals and eight assists in 21 games, and Madrid’s decision to retain him will shape Arsenal’s deadline strategy as they refocus on targets such as Julián Álvarez and other alternatives.
