Serie A club Roma appears poised to enter the competition to provide Real Madrid prodigy Endrick with a fresh opportunity during the January transfer window.
Endrick, who joined Real Madrid in the summer, has already been linked with a potential loan move after struggling for first-team minutes at the Santiago Bernabéu. Premier League club Southampton, currently struggling in the league, has expressed interest in the Brazilian, while Roma are also reportedly preparing to approach Real Madrid for a January loan deal, according to Diario Sport.
Roma, who recently appointed Claudio Ranieri as manager until the end of the season, are keen to strengthen their struggling attack. The Italian club is on the lookout for young, dynamic players and believes Endrick fits the profile perfectly. However, they could face competition for his signature, with La Liga side Real Valladolid—now owned by former Real Madrid striker Ronaldo—also reportedly interested in the Brazilian talent.
Endrick has played just 56 minutes of La Liga action this season for Real Madrid, spread across eight substitute appearances. The club’s addition of Kylian Mbappé in the summer has further limited his opportunities on the pitch.
Carlo Ancelotti has utilized Endrick minimally this season, and it is anticipated that he will remain on the bench once more this Sunday as Real Madrid competes against Leganés in La Liga. Supporters will need to observe whether the young forward decides to pursue a transfer in January to attain consistent playing time. Nevertheless, should he choose to seek a temporary departure from the Santiago Bernabéu, he is expected to attract interest from multiple clubs, as several are reportedly keen on acquiring his talents.
