Leaving Madrid? Milan joins the race for Real Madrid star

Endrick could change clubs as early as January. The 20-year-old Brazilian Real Madrid striker has become the focus of a battle between two Italian giants—Milan and Roma—which are considering the forward as a major attacking reinforcement for the second half of the season.

According to Marca, Milan decided to enter the race for the forward after reports emerged of Roma's interest. The club's management, led by Gerry Cardinale, sees Endrick as the ideal addition to its attack, particularly given his lack of playing time in Madrid.

Milan intends to offer Real Madrid a loan deal until the end of the season. The Italian club is counting on the strong relationship between RedBird Capital and the Madrid hierarchy, while also prepared to guarantee the Brazilian a significantly more important role in the team.

At Milan, they believe regular playing time in Serie A would allow Endrick to unlock his potential. The player himself faced a similar situation last season, when he joined Lyon on loan and was given the chance to play regularly.
