Aston Villa has held talks with representatives of Real Madrid's 20-year-old forward Endrick. The Madrid club is ready to let the Brazilian go only on loan without an option to buy. Birmingham are interested in the deal due to UEFA financial restrictions.

Birmingham's Aston Villa is eyeing a potential loan deal for 20-year-old Brazilian forward Endrick from Real Madrid.

According to TEAMtalk, the player's representatives have reached out to several Premier League clubs seeking a regular playing time solution. For Endrick, England remains a priority destination.

Details of the potential deal

  • Format of departure: Real Madrid president Florentino Perez does not intend to part ways with the player permanently, so the club is only open to a loan without the option to buy.
  • Aston Villa's readiness: The Birmingham club is among teams agreeable to such a setup. UEFA's financial fair play regulations make a loan arrangement particularly attractive for Unai Emery's side.
  • Competition: Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Fulham are also monitoring the situation regarding the forward.

This transfer window has already seen Aston Villa sign Alejandro Garnacho, Joan Manzambi, and Joao Gomes, yet the coaching staff seeks further reinforcements in attack ahead of their Champions League campaign.
