Everton were strongly linked with a move for Endrick, and a chance to sign Real Madrid's young talent could reappear on Merseyside.
The young Brazilian's future was a huge talking point during the most recent winter transfer window, eventually joining Lyon on loan in January.
He ended up notching eight goals and eight assists in 21 appearances. Yet, his return to the Bernabeu is unlikely to last under Jose Mourinho.
At the time of his move to Lyon, half of Europe were keeping tabs, with Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Aston Villa all interested.
The 20-year-old obviously opted for Ligue 1, where he shone enough to earn a spot in Brazil's 2026 World Cup squad, but his future still remains uncertain.
Given David Moyes' lack of clinical options in the final third, the Toffees need to be all over the latest developments emerging from La Liga.
Jose Mourinho could open the door for Endrick exit
At Real Madrid, plenty of transfer drama is unfolding, with Viniciur Junior the subject of strong interest from Arsenal as they explore a sensational summer deal.
For the longest time, it appeared that Gonzalo Garcia would be one of the next to leave, even being linked with Fulham due to the new appointment of Alvaro Arbeloa.
However, sources have told the Athletic (28 July) that Mourinho not only likes the 22-year-old Spaniard, but it also keen for him to stay this summer.
In turn, this raises serious questions about how Endrick fits into the squad, with Mourinho keen to sign yet another centre-forward to join Kylian Mbappe through the middle.
Undoubtedly, Endrick is a talented player, but he has struggled since leaving Palmeiras, and a move to Merseyside could be a much-needed next step.
Endrick already clear about playing in the Premier League
Playing for Real Madrid has always been Endrick's dream, but it's time for the 20-year-old to put his career first over a fairytale.
"I was attracted by the Premier League, the city of London and the fact that English is the economically dominant language in the world," he said back in 2023.
“I was told that it rains a lot in London, but that wouldn’t be a problem because, as my father used to say, I always liked playing in the rain."
Now could be the perfect time for the Brazilian to explore a move to England, and Merseyside might be the perfect destination for him to test a new style of play.
