What we know
Roma are targeting Endrick for a January move. The Brazilian centre-forward has a contract with Real Madrid until 2030.
Reports suggest the deal could be a loan given his limited playing time at the capital club. The interest began on 11 Aug, with ESPN reporting a link but noting no formal offer. Diario AS claimed the player was convinced by Roma's approach on 30 Sep. Later, RomaPress noted interest grew but mentioned a recall clause. On 6 Oct, Corriere dello Sport and Goal reported clubs are negotiating terms, with Real Madrid favoring a loan while Roma seeks an option to buy.
Trivela later claimed on 12 Oct that Real Madrid blocked a move involving both Roma and Milan.
