Roma Reportedly Revive Talks for Real Madrid’s Endrick
Roma and Real Madrid could revisit a January loan for Endrick after the Brazilian’s proposed summer move fell apart.
The transfer market remains active, with AS Roma and Real Madrid showing renewed interest in Real Madrid's forward Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa. Two months after missing out on securing the U-20 sensation, Roma are reportedly back in talks with the Spanish club, with multiple sources in Europe confirming that discussions will resume in January.
Real Madrid, known for their successful investment in young talents, paid a substantial €47.5 million to acquire Endrick's rights from Palmeiras in 2024. After a loan spell at Lyon, where he scored five goals and provided seven assists in the 2025-2026 season, Real Madrid faced a dilemma whether to renew his loan or give him a chance to compete for a place under new manager José Mourinho.
Initially, a loan deal to Roma was considered, but it was abandoned by Mourinho, leaving Roma eager to once again try for their 20-year-old Brazilian winger. While Roma might not be willing to let him go for less than €50 million, they may be open to a short-term loan arrangement, potentially with an option or obligation to buy.
Expect the negotiations to be particularly intense when Real Madrid faces Roma in the Champions League this month.
