Transfer bombshell! Arsenal and Como target a Real Madrid forward
One of January's biggest transfer battles may already be starting to take shape.
Details: According to MatchDay Central, Arsenal and Como are interested in Real Madrid forward Endrick. The Brazilian remains under contract with the Spanish giants, but the report claims he could consider leaving in January if his situation does not change and he continues to struggle for regular playing time.
The timing of the report is particularly significant. Endrick returned to Real Madrid after his loan spell at Lyon, but has still not played a single official minute under José Mourinho this season. The 20-year-old recently recovered from a muscular problem and was again left on the bench during Real Madrid's 4-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano, despite Mourinho making several substitutions.
For now, the information concerns interest rather than an advanced transfer, and the possibility of a winter move is directly linked to how Endrick's role develops over the coming months. Regular minutes could therefore become decisive as Arsenal and Como monitor the situation. It is worth noting that Transfermarkt currently values the Brazilian centre-forward at €40 million, while his contract with Real Madrid runs until the summer of 2030.
