Milan want Endrick, but Real insist on a loan without an option to buy
In the silence of the Santiago Bernabéu locker room, the young Brazilian Endrick watches the empty bench, aware that his ten minutes against Elche are the only playing time he has enjoyed so far this season and wonders whether in January he will be able to pack his bags for the Rossoneri, while Milan watches his development closely.
Milan's interest in Endrick dates back to last summer, when the Rossoneri were looking for a striker with his profile and contacted Real to explore possible negotiation margins. At the time, the Spanish club showed an initial openness, but clarified that the preferred arrangement would have been a straight loan.
Endrick's journey at Real
Real Madrid had proposed a straight loan, but ENDRICK asked to stay among the Merengues, a decision reiterated several times to José Mourinho. So far, the Brazilian has accumulated only ten minutes of league play, all in the 3‑2 victory over Elche.
After the second half of last season at Lyon, the 2006-born player wanted to earn his chances with the new coach, convinced he could climb the hierarchy. His desire to develop was evident from his first‑team debut.
Endrick's minutes at Real amount to just ten minutes, played in the league match against Elche, won 3‑2 thanks to a goal by Espì in stoppage time, who also came on at the end. If the situation does not change, the Brazilian could consider a transfer.
Financial proposals and market options
Endrick's contract with REAL expires in June 2030 and his salary is around €2.5 million. The Spanish would like to let him go only on a straight loan, as last year with Lyon, while Milan could submit a more elaborate request with a purchase option or obligation and a possible buy‑back for Real, that is for MADRID.
Last summer Roma also stepped forward with the Blancos to understand the exit options for Endrick, but the Spanish management reiterated that it would not consider arrangements other than a straight loan. Offers of that kind have arrived and Real Madrid would have accepted them, but it was the player who halted everything.
Probably in the January market other calls will come for the Brazilian, also monitored by clubs abroad, and if he does not find playing time in the coming months he could pack his bags for the Rossoneri. Milan remains waiting for a possible agreement that satisfies both parties.
