Arsenal might get a second shot at signing Real Madrid forward Endrick, as January transfer window plans heat up. The Brazilian star's future with the Spanish giants is reportedly up for discussion, potentially opening a door for the Gunners.
Reports suggest that Endrick's team will sit down with Real Madrid during the upcoming international break to hash out his development and first-team chances. This comes after the 20-year-old attacker's return to the Santiago Bernabéu following the World Cup, where his playing time under manager José Mourinho has been limited.
Endrick previously had a loan spell at Lyon in the second half of last season to gain more experience. A recent minor injury after his return also put a damper on his progress. With tough competition for attacking spots at Real Madrid, his representatives are looking for more clarity on his role.
Arsenal's interest isn't new; they inquired about him back in August. While Real Madrid has historically held firm on keeping their prized talent, Endrick's concerns about consistent game time could create an opportunity for Mikel Arteta's squad.
The Premier League champions could see Endrick as a future attacking asset, especially if Real Madrid becomes more flexible about his availability. However, no deal is done yet, and the upcoming talks will be key to whether Arsenal can push for a January move.
