Aston Villa are looking to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window and are contemplating a loan move for Real Madrid striker Endrick. According to Football Insider, the Birmingham club is preparing an offer for the 20-year-old Brazilian to join until the end of the season.
Head coach Unai Emery sees strengthening his attack as a key priority this winter. In the summer, Villa signed Ibrahim Mbaye but also parted ways with Ollie Watkins, Leon Bailey, and Donyell Malen.
Endrick has emerged as a viable option for Villa as he struggles to secure a regular spot in Real Madrid's first team.
During the second half of last season, the Brazilian spent time on loan at Lyon, where he made an impression. He scored eight goals and provided eight assists in 21 appearances across all competitions.
After returning to Madrid for pre-season training this summer, Endrick aimed to prove his worth under Jose Mourinho.
There was interest from Liverpool around the same time, with the Reds attempting to negotiate a loan deal for the 2026/27 season, but were met with a rejection.
Mourinho wanted to assess the striker's capabilities following his recovery from injury and was reluctant to let him go.
However, with ample attacking options available to the Portuguese manager, Endrick's playing time has remained limited.
Aston Villa are keen to take advantage of this situation by negotiating a six-month loan deal.
Villa are not the only contenders for the Brazilian, as several other European clubs are also considering a temporary move for him.
The final decision will hinge on Real Madrid's stance and Mourinho's evaluation of the player. Currently, discussions are in the preparatory stage, with no agreement reached as yet.
