As Calciomercato.com write, the situation surrounding the young Brazilian is now inevitably opening up new scenarios for his future. The idea of a January departure is back in fashion, and there’s no shortage of suitors.
An opportunity for Milan?
Diario AS claim that Endrick had practically finalised a move to Roma, where Gian Piero Gasperini was ready to welcome him, but José Mourinho’s intervention changed everything.
Despite the arrival of Yan Diomandé, the Portuguese coach asked that the Brazilian remain in Madrid, especially considering Rodrygo’s injury.

However, Kylian Mbappé and Espí are playing as the strikers, Vinicius Jr. is untouchable on the left, Arda Guler has established himself on the right and Diomandé is now improving, without forgetting Brahim Diaz.
So, if things don’t work out by January, he will be able to re-evaluate his situation. The door already seems to be opening for a new loan, given his successful previous stint at Lyon, which allowed him to secure a spot in the World Cup squad with Brazil.
Several clubs are keep, and among them are Milan. From Gerry Cardinale to Ruben Amorim and the management, all agree that Endrick is the right man to boost the attack. This is why the Rossoneri are considering a new move after trying in the summer, a loan with option to buy.
Roma remain keen, but the real threat for the Rossoneri and Giallorossi comes from England: Manchester United. The Red Devils also initiated contact with Endrick’s entourage in August and want a striker behind Benjamin Sesko.
