Real Madrid: three clubs make a move for Endrick

With Yan Diomandé's arrival and Vinicius Jr's contract extension, Endrick could be on his way out of Real Madrid again this summer.

After a successful loan spell at Olympique Lyonnais, Endrick was less than pleased with the arrival of Carlos Espi at Real Madrid. The Spaniard came in as a direct replacement for Gonzalo Garcia, who was sold to Fulham. It's clear that without the Spanish forward joining, Endrick would have had a clear path to serve as Kylian Mbappé's backup this season.

According to The Athletic, José Mourinho still counts on Endrick. However, that remains to be seen on the pitch. While the Brazilian's versatility means he can also play on the right, this week saw Yan Diomandé arrive in the Spanish capital for a staggering €140 million fee, further reducing Endrick's chances for playing time.

Endrick, another loan spell?

At Real Madrid, the idea of another loan for Endrick continues to gain traction in the Spanish press, but the player reportedly intends to stay and fight for his place in Madrid. The question now is whether Real Madrid will back this decision or try to convince him to seek minutes elsewhere.

Italian media recently revealed that AS Roma is preparing a move, and according to Mundo Deportivo, three La Liga clubs are also in the race. Real Sociedad has stepped up its efforts and opened talks with Real Madrid. The Basque side came close to securing Endrick on loan last year, but the deal fell through after the player suffered an injury. Betis and Villarreal, two other clubs with European pedigree, have also shown interest in recent hours.
