Arsenal has reportedly initiated discussions regarding a potential January transfer for Brazilian forward Endrick, who currently plays for Real Madrid. According to TEAMtalk, there are discussions around a loan deal that may include an option to buy.

So far this season, the 20-year-old has managed only 107 minutes across four appearances, starting just one match in La Liga.

Arsenal’s interest centers on the possibility of bringing Endrick in on loan with an option for a permanent move. However, Real Madrid is believed to prefer a more straightforward loan arrangement to maintain their control over the player’s future in Spain.

Other clubs, including AC Milan and Roma, have also shown interest. Both clubs are reportedly examining loan options without the prospect of a buy clause, aligning more closely with Real Madrid’s preferences.

Endrick’s representatives are exploring options that might afford him more playing time. Last season, he spent time on loan at Lyon, where he had a productive spell, scoring eight goals and providing eight assists in 21 appearances.

Should a move occur in January, it would mark a shift from the previous summer when Endrick reportedly turned down potential transfers, including interest from Arsenal, aiming to secure a spot in Madrid’s squad.

Arsenal is also considering strengthening their attacking lineup, particularly on the left wing and at center forward, and Endrick’s versatility makes him an appealing target, reflecting the club’s interest from before his transfer to Madrid.
