Roma target Real Madrid Endrick to plug Summerville void

Roma have identified Real Madrid’s Brazilian teenager Endrick as their next target, with negotiations already under way after the 17‑year‑old spent the second half of last season on loan at Lyon and returned to the Spanish giants. Roma are assessing the financial and contractual feasibility of securing his transfer.

The pursuit follows Roma’s desperate need to fill an attacking void after the club failed to secure a viable alternative to winger Crysencio Summerville. Summerville’s departure left a gap in the side’s width and creativity. Gasperini believes Endrick’s pace and technical ability match the profile required to replace the English‑born winger.

Manager Gian Piero Gasperini has voiced frustration at Roma’s inability to sign a player who could replace Summerville. His comments were echoed by Get Italian Football News, which reported the coach describing the lack of options as a critical setback for the club’s attacking plans.

Club director Alfredo Pedulla later confirmed that Endrick is now officially listed among Roma’s targets, highlighting the Brazilian’s rising profile after his loan spell at Lyon. Pedulla’s statement reinforces the capital club’s growing interest.

Negotiations have already begun with Endrick’s representatives, as Roma evaluate the financial and contractual terms that could make the deal intricate. The club is weighing potential add‑on clauses and release conditions.

Roma remain on standby for Real Madrid’s ultimate decision, acknowledging that the ball now rests in the Spanish giants’ hands. Any agreement must first be approved by Los Blancos before progress can be made.

Should Los Blancos agree to let the teenager depart, Roma are expected to be in a strong position to complete the signing, addressing the gap left by the club’s inability to replace Summerville. The move would provide the Serie A side with a high‑potential forward for the upcoming season.

For now, the prospective move hangs on Real Madrid’s willingness to open the door, leaving Roma’s pursuit in a state of anticipation. The club has refrained from detailing any concrete terms until the Spanish side signals its intent.
