Serie A side Milan have been in the race with Roma to sign Real Madrid’s Endrick and both clubs were also interested in the attacker in the summer. Increasingly, there are signs the Rossoneri could be leading the race for the deal.
Roma could discuss a deal with Real Madrid when the two clubs meet in the Champions League later in the month. But La Gazzetta dello Sport believe Milan have no reason to panic just yet.
This is because the club’s RedBird ownership has a good relationship with Endrick’s entourage at RocNation. Gerry Cardinale himself is close to the agency, who will faciliate the transfer, if it does go through.
AC Milan and Roc Nation have been united since 2020 in what was described as a ‘unique partnership, driven by innovation, community, integrity, and inclusion’, as per the official announcement for the deal.
Besides, Milan and Real Madrid are friendly clubs in general, having previously ironed out a move for Brahim Diaz too. If Los Blancos need a hand to further Endrick’s development, things could be quite favourable for the Rossoneri, who could soon receive bad news regarding the fitness of Alexis Saelemaekers too.
