Endrick is still not in Mourinho's plans at Real Madrid and Roma are coming for him

Endrick's lack of minutes at the White House has immediately set off alarm bells in the European market . With the clear objective of making a leap in quality in Serie A and competing for the Scudetto , Roma's management has set its sights on the South American striker as the perfect piece to strengthen its attack from January onward .

"The contractual situation and Endrick 's role at Madrid have become a headache for the player, who is desperately seeking regular playing time so as not to stall his professional development . Although the Brazilian arrived with the label of a young star, the fierce competition in Madrid's attack has drastically shut the door on his chances of becoming a starter.

Ostracism in the White House

The Brazilian attacker remains scoreless in the current campaign, having accumulated a total of zero minutes played in both LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League . Portuguese coach José Mourinho has decided to keep him off the field, leaving him on the bench in key clashes against Inter Milan or Rayo Vallecano , and even preferring other attacking options such as Carlos Espí over the former Palmeiras player.

Although the attacker suffered certain muscle discomforts that hindered his physical preparation , media outlets such as Corriere dello Sport point out that the attacker's frustration is beginning to grow inside the Madrid dressing room . Images of his serious face on the Madrid bench have spread like wildfire on social media, fueling all kinds of speculation about his imminent departure.

During the summer transfer window, Roma already tried to secure the player's loan move, a proposal that at the time was ruled out both by the player himself—determined to earn a place in the Spanish capital—and by Mourinho, who preferred not to weaken the squad. However, the lack of minutes on the pitch in the first months of the competition has completely changed the perspective of the striker's camp .

The Italians' plan for the January market

Given the bleak situation the player is experiencing in Madrid, the AS Roma board, led by the Friedkin family, has decided to reopen negotiations with the white club ahead of the winter transfer window. According to information revealed by Goal, OneFootball and Corriere dello Sport, the club from the Italian capital has already begun the first formal contacts with Florentino Pérez to agree on the signing of the forward .

Roma sporting director Tony D"Amico is considering the possibility of completing a loan deal with an option to buy, also including a buy-back clause in favor of Real Madrid to facilitate the operation, following a framework similar to the one Como agreed for Nico Paz’s transfer. The Roman club’s chief executive, John Galantic, confirmed the board’s enormous enthusiasm for giving their coach Gian Piero Gasperini that left-footed attacking profile the team so badly needs to compete at the top of Italy.

The "Giallorosso" side is looking to seal an agreement in principle as soon as possible in order to get ahead of other elite European clubs that are also closely monitoring the Brazilian's situation . Within the Italian club, there is a firm conviction that Endrick's own desire to get playing time and regain the prominence he has lost will be the decisive factor in unlocking the negotiation and securing his arrival at the Stadio Olimpico.
