Real Madrid have decided on Endrick’s future ahead of the January window, as Tottenham and Arsenal think about bringing him to the Premier League.
The 20-year-old striker is considered one of the best young talents to come out of Brazil over recent years, but he has found game time extremely hard to come by at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Tottenham’s interest in Endrick dates back to last season, and the youngster continues to be on the radar of the Lilywhites as they look to solve their issues in front of goal.
Multiple sources have reported over recent weeks that Spurs have explored a January move for the Real Madrid starlet, as he considers his future in the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid inform Endrick of their position amid Tottenham and Arsenal interest
TEAMtalk have now revealed Los Blancos have made it clear to the young centre-forward that they are standing firm on their intention to keep him at the club.
This is despite the youngster’s growing frustration, amid ‘strong interest’ from Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, who are ready to offer him a route to the Premier League.
Madrid’s stance represents a ‘significant blow’ to the two North London clubs who were both hoping to tie up deals that could ultimately lead to a permanent transfer.
Apart from the two London giants, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Fulham have all asked about the Brazilian over recent months.
Madrid are open to loaning out Endrick in January
Interestingly, it is revealed by TEAMtalk that the striker got more minutes for the Selecao during the international break than he has for the La Liga giants over the last 12 months.
Endrick’s camp has made it clear to Madrid in their discussions that the player is not happy with his current situation at the club and considers his lack of minutes ‘unacceptable’.
As a result, Jose Mourinho’s men have decided to listen to proposals for a straight loan in January, but only without an option or obligation to buy.
This update does not reveal whether such a dry loan for Endrick is of interest to De Zerbi’s side.
