AC Milan Joins Race for Real Madrid's Endrick

AC Milan seems very interested in acquiring Endrick's services and would have burst into the race for the Brazilian. This came after learning of Roma's interest in signing the Real Madrid forward. The Rossoneri's board, led by Gerry Cardinale, would have decided to begin seriously evaluating the possibility of incorporating him into the next winter market.

Let's remember that all this is due to the lack of opportunities the Brazilian forward has at Madrid. So, Milan wants to take advantage of this to convince him, since they see him as the perfect piece to make that leap in quality the team lacks offensively, with which they could face the second half of the season better in search of the top positions in Serie A.

Milan's strategy relies on negotiating a loan that benefits all parties involved. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, both RedBird Capital and Cardinale himself widely trust that the relationship the Italian club has with Madrid, as well as guaranteeing them that Endrick will have a leading role in Serie A, will play in their favor in convincing the merengues.

The club's intention is to convince the player that he will be the most visible striker, the team's main offensive weapon, as well as that he will have all the confidence from the board and the coaching staff. It is trying to take advantage of the lack of minutes he has at Real Madrid under Jose Mourinho's orders, who during this summer asked him not to leave for Roma and to seek to keep the position in Madrid. However, the months have passed, and they still have not allowed him to show himself.

This same situation was what forced him to leave for Lyon last December. At that time, Xabi Alonso did not have him in mind, so he left for France in search of minutes and to love football again. Unfortunately for him, it seems he has re-entered the same loop as before. Kylian Mbappe is the undisputed starter who adds the most minutes, while the substitute — which is where Endrick should come in — is losing the race against Carlos Espi.

The recent arrival from Levante imposed conditions by scoring two extremely important goals, one against Espanyol and another against Elche, which in each match meant the victory for the Chamartin side, generating a lot of confidence in the Portuguese coach for his effectiveness, since on both occasions he needed very few minutes to achieve it, which ended up relegating the Brazilian to the third option.
