Endrick signals openness to January loan as Milan push for Real Madrid star

Real Madrid face a crowded attacking roster, and the 20‑year‑old Brazilian forward Endrick has indicated he would welcome a January loan to AC Milan to secure regular minutes. The Italian outlet reports the youngster has given an initial yes, leaving the final decision to his parent club.

Why a move is becoming inevitable

Endrick’s chances at the Spanish capital are limited by fierce competition from Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Yan Diomande, Carlos Espi, Brahim Diaz, Arda Guler and the returning Rodrygo. With only a four‑minute cameo against Elche in September, his game time this season has been negligible.

Such a bottleneck makes a January exit increasingly likely, especially as the winter transfer window approaches and the situation could evolve before Christmas.

AC Milan’s renewed interest

Milan were close to securing Endrick on loan last summer, but then‑coach Jose Mourinho blocked the deal. This season Mourinho has given the forward very little playing time, prompting the player to seek a move.

Endrick’s representatives at Roc Nation, which maintains a strong business link with Milan owner Gerry Cardinale, have confirmed the Brazilian’s willingness to join the Rossoneri. AS Roma and Aston Villa are also monitoring the situation.

The proposed loan would see Milan cover his €2.5 million net salary plus bonuses, a figure that should not hinder the deal. Should he arrive, he would give manager Ruben Amorim additional tactical options.

Endrick has repeatedly stated that Milan appeal to him and that the prospect of playing in Serie A after experiences in Spain and France is attractive. The ultimate choice now rests with Real Madrid, who must decide whether to retain the youngster or allow the January departure.
