Real Madrid star Endrick is reportedly considering his options at the Santiago Bernabeu this summer as he looks to guarantee more first-team football.
The 20-year-old has only made 40 first-team appearances for Los Blancos, despite joining the club in July 2024.
Real Madrid announced in December 2022 they had agreed a deal for the former Palmeiras starlet, and the move was official once he turned 18.
He has found first-team opportunities hard to come by and in December 2025, Endrick joined Ligue 1 side Lyon on a six-month loan deal.
Endrick had hoped to earn a first-team spot this season under new manager Jose Mourinho, but he has already seen Vinicius Jr sign a new contract instead of signing for Arsenal, while Yan Diomande has joined from RB Leipzig.
Los Blancos also signed Carlos Espi from Levante and they have Kylian Mbappe and Brahim Diaz in the final third, so Endrick is now open to leaving on a permanent basis.
We assess who Endrick could end up signing for before the transfer window comes to a close.
Aston Villa
Europa League winners Aston Villa have become the latest team to show an interest in the 20-year-old.
Villans boss Unai Emery is looking to bolster his attack as the club prepare for their UEFA Champions League campaign. Reports with AS in Spain suggest Villa are keen to finalise a loan deal for the youngster.
Villa are still relying heavily on England international Ollie Watkins, while they have Tammy Abraham and youngster Brian Madjo as backup options.
Endrick scored eight goals and registered eight assists for Lyon in 21 appearances and Emery could also utilise him as a winger.
Roma
AS also report that Roma are planning an audacious loan bid for Endrick.
Endrick reportedly wants to join a club that will play in the UEFA Champions League so he can raise his profile and test himself on the biggest stage.
He also sees himself as a centre forward, but at Roma, he has Paulo Dybala, Donyell Malen, Santiago Castro and Robinio Vaz in his way in the pecking order.
Chelsea
Premier League giants Chelsea have been linked with Endrick for several years and a loan deal would certainly help bolster their attack and give Joao Pedro support in the final third.
However, Endrick fell down the pecking order under former Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso, who is now in the dugout at Stamford Bridge.
The fact that Chelsea are not competing in the UEFA Champions League is a further blow to their ambitions to sign him.
Arsenal
Arsenal's pursuit of Vinicius Jr suggests they want to bolster their attack, and Endrick would certainly be a decent fallback option.
Mikel Arteta has already added Christos Tzolis to his forward options, but he traditionally plays as a left winger, meaning Endrick could move to North London and compete with Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz for a starting spot through the middle.
Liverpool
Liverpool chiefs have also been in contact with Real Madrid chiefs, if reports are to be believed, as they look to give new manager Andoni Iraola further options in the final third.
Alexander Isak lacks competition through the middle, with Cody Gakpo being linked with the exit door and Hugo Ekitike sidelined through injury.
Endrick's ability to play as a right winger would also be a major boost to a team that lost Mohamed Salah in the summer.
Manchester United
Manchester United secured UEFA Champions League football again last season, and they have yet to bolster their attack.
Andre Santos and Youri Tielemans have moved to Old Trafford, but Michael Carrick has yet to add a new forward to his ranks, with Marcus Rashford, Matheus Cunha, Joshua Zirkzee, Amad Diallo, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko all at his disposal at present.
