A major development is emerging as reports indicate Endrick has signaled openness to joining AC Milan on loan in January. While the winter transfer window remains several weeks away, the Brazilian forward has made clear to his representatives that the Rossoneri would be among his preferred destinations if a move away from Real Madrid is permitted.
Endrick is currently facing stiff competition for playing time at Real Madrid. With a wealth of attacking options ahead of him—Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Yan Diomande, Carlos Espi, Brahim Diaz, Arda Guler, and a soon-to-return Rodrygo—the chances for regular first-team appearances are expected to be limited this season. His only appearance so far this term has been a four-minute cameo against Elche in September, leaving his future high on the agenda as the season progresses.
There is growing sentiment that a January exit could become more likely if his situation at Madrid does not change. Milan had shown interest in Endrick on loan last season, a move that was initially blocked by Jose Mourinho at the time. The dynamic has evolved, with Endrick’s representatives indicating a willingness to explore a January loan to Milan. The agency behind Endrick also maintains a strong relationship with Milan owner Gerry Cardinale, a connection that could facilitate discussions if Real Madrid agrees to let the Brazilian leave.
Alongside Milan, clubs such as AS Roma and Aston Villa are also viewed as potential destinations should a loan be pursued. If Endrick does move, Milan would reportedly aim to finalize terms in January, with Real Madrid retaining the ultimate decision on the player’s short-term and long-term future.
Financial considerations are not expected to be a major barrier for Milan. Endrick is understood to earn around €2.5 million net per season at Real Madrid, plus bonuses, which would be manageable within Milan’s loan framework.
If the move goes ahead, Endrick would offer manager Ruben Amorim a range of tactical options. The prospect of gaining first-hand experience in Serie A adds appeal after his stints in Spain and France. The final decision rests with Real Madrid, who will assess Endrick’s development and suitability for a January loan before confirming any arrangement.
