Endrick’s situation at Real Madrid has not developed as expected since his return to the club this summer. The Brazilian forward has found himself on the fringes of Jose Mourinho’s plans, once again raising questions about his future ahead of the January transfer window. With the uncertainty continuing, one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs has emerged as a potential destination.
According to a report from talkSPORT cited by Madrid Universal, Arsenal could make another move for Endrick in January after holding initial talks with Real Madrid in late August to explore the possibility of signing the Brazilian forward. However, Mourinho decided at the time to block Endrick’s departure and keep him at the club.
The situation could change over the coming months, particularly if Endrick continues to receive limited playing time at Real Madrid. The youngster returned to the Spanish capital following a loan spell at Olympique Lyon, but he has yet to establish the role he had hoped for within the team’s attacking structure.
Endrick currently sits third in Real Madrid’s attacking hierarchy behind Kylian Mbappe and Carlos Espi, severely limiting his opportunities with the first team. If that situation continues, other clubs could become increasingly interested in his availability, while Real Madrid will also assess their options before the January transfer window opens.
According to the report, Real Madrid have not ruled out the possibility of Endrick leaving the club in 2027, either on loan or on a permanent basis, if his situation does not improve. The club is expected to reassess his future before the January window begins.
A loan move is one of the possible solutions being considered, as it would allow Endrick to play regularly and gain the minutes he is currently struggling to find in Madrid. A permanent departure, meanwhile, cannot be completely ruled out if he continues to remain on the fringes of Mourinho’s plans.
For Arsenal, such a scenario could provide an opportunity to return to the negotiating table, particularly because the initial contacts between the two clubs in August indicate that the Premier League side had already been monitoring the Brazilian forward’s situation.
Therefore, if Endrick continues to struggle for regular football at Real Madrid in the coming months, Arsenal could return with another approach in January. However, there is no confirmed transfer at this stage, with the situation currently based on previous initial contacts and the possibility of a move depending heavily on Endrick’s role at Real Madrid.
