Milan eye Endrick loan as Real Madrid minutes dwindle
In a cramped corner of the Bernabéu, Endrick's name flickers on the scoreboard after a solitary four‑minute cameo for Real Madrid this season, a stint marred by a recent muscle injury. The Brazilian striker, who logged 139 minutes across three friendlies for Brazil (Brasil), could soon find a new home.

Milan revive Endrick loan pursuit
Milan are monitoring Endrick's scarce minutes at Real Madrid and plan to restart loan negotiations when the January transfer window opens. The Italian side sees a six‑month loan as a chance to secure the striker without a purchase clause.
Other clubs also monitor the Brazilian
According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Roma have opened talks with Roc Nation, the agency representing Endrick, while Aston Villa expressed interest in the last window but were rebuffed by the Spanish giants. Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, secured Omari Hutchinson on loan from Milan.
Real Madrid's congested schedule could provide Endrick with more opportunities. The club faces eight matches in the next 29 days, with Kylian Mbappé also nursing a knee injury, meaning the Portuguese manager may rotate his squad. The situation in Madri (Madrid) remains fluid.
Endrick arrived from Brazil in December 2022 for a fixed €35 million fee plus €25 million in bonuses. After scoring seven goals in 37 games in 2024/25, he spent January on loan at Lyon, netting eight goals and providing eight assists in 21 appearances.
A loan deal for Endrick would likely run for six months and omit any option to buy, mirroring the arrangement used at Lyon. Should the move materialise, Milan would add a proven goal‑scorer to their attacking line‑up ahead of the second half of the season.
Endrick's limited exposure at Real Madrid and his productive spell in France keep his market value high, making him a coveted asset for clubs across Europe. A successful loan could reignite his development and reshape the transfer market dynamics this winter.
