The Devil blocks a transfer?! Endrick's bizarre reason for rejecting Milan sparks controversy
Endrick has found himself at the center of one of the strangest transfer stories of the year.
Details: According to Corriere dello Sport, the 20-year-old Real Madrid striker is reluctant to join AC Milan on loan because of the Italian club's association with the Devil. The Brazilian is a deeply religious Christian and reportedly prefers not to represent a team whose historic nickname is Il Diavolo and whose mascot features a devil.
Meanwhile, Roma have emerged as serious contenders for the Brazilian's signature. According to Corriere dello Sport, the capital club have maintained contact with his entourage and are exploring a January loan deal with an option to buy.
Endrick himself recently admitted that he wants more playing time and is uncertain about his future at Real Madrid. No agreement over a winter transfer has been announced.
It's worth noting that the Brazilian has played just 141 minutes for Real Madrid this season, registering one goal and one assist. Both goal contributions came against Roma in the Champions League.
