15-Second Brief
20-year-old forward Endrick is considering leaving Real Madrid due to a lack of playing time. His representatives have contacted several Premier League clubs, but Madrid are only willing to loan him out.

20-year-old Brazilian forward Endrick is weighing up his options for a career move amid concerns about a lack of game time at Real Madrid.

The striker was hoping to establish himself in the first team under Jose Mourinho after a productive loan spell at Lyon. However, with the arrivals of Carlos Espi and Jan Diomande, coupled with Vinicius Junior signing a new contract, Endrick's path to the starting XI has become increasingly difficult.

Negotiations with Premier League clubs

Endrick's representatives have already started exploring potential transfer options:

  • Contact with top clubs: They have reached out to Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Fulham.
  • Disagreements over deal format: Real Madrid, and specifically president Florentino Perez, are keen to retain the player and are open only to a straight loan without an option to buy, which is agreeable to Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Fulham. In contrast, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United are insisting on including a buy-back clause.

The player’s camp continues discussions with Madrid's hierarchy, hoping to reach a compromise before the transfer window closes.
