Endrick close to leaving Real Madrid: Milan and Roma race for January

Endrick's future again looks distant from Real Madrid: the Brazilian, who returned in September after a muscle problem, played only four minutes against Elche and hasn't taken the field since, while Milan and Roma are already negotiating a possible transfer in January.

Current situation at Real Madrid

José Mourinho seems to prefer Carlos Espi, who arrived in the summer from Levante, leaving Endrick out of the technical plan. Alexandre Pato advised his teammate to change environment, stating: "I think he needs to move on, because it's not easy to find him a place at Real Madrid. He can't always leave the decision to his agents. In my opinion, he must find another club".

Possible destinations

According to Cadena SER, the prospect of a January departure is becoming more concrete. Lyon, where Endrick recorded eight goals and eight assists in twenty-one matches last season, is back in consideration, but the competition makes the deal difficult.

Aston Villa is identified as the club best placed to secure the young striker, thanks to greater financial resources for a possible costly loan. Roma represents an interesting option on the sporting side, while Milan is also on the list of potential destinations.

The Brazilian is mainly seeking continuity after the limited playing time he found under Mourinho; January could therefore become the right moment to leave Madrid again.
