An earlier denial no longer counts: a later, dated report from another source overtook it. It stays in the table below.

What we know

Tottenham are being linked with a January move for Endrick, with several outlets describing either a loan or a permanent switch. His contract at Real Madrid runs to 2030.

The latest cluster begins 5 Oct, when TEAMtalk said Real Madrid were standing firm on keeping the striker despite interest from Arsenal and Tottenham — an earlier denial now overtaken. Football365, citing TEAMtalk, added that Madrid would only sanction a loan without a buy option. By 6 Oct MSN and FootballBuzzer reported Madrid were weighing a sale after his camp expressed frustration, while FootballBuzzer on 9 Oct says a January loan is now encouraged by Madrid. Goal frames it as advice that Endrick should seek minutes at Newcastle or Tottenham. 8 Aug TEAMtalk and Yahoo Sports had already reported Tottenham open to a loan without a purchase option and that talks were held.

No source says a formal bid has been lodged; Football365 notes the lack of a purchase option makes a Spurs move unlikely.
