Confirmed: Roma reopen talks with Endrick’s entourage

Roma is poised to reopen negotiations with Endrick's representatives, according to recent reports. The Italian club aims to strengthen its roster during the January transfer window, following its recent struggles on the field. Despite the recent window yielding no success in signing a capable striker, Gian Piero Gasperini remains determined to secure a suitable addition.

Real Madrid's talented striker, Endrick, is the primary target for Roma. Alongside other players like Leweling and Gittens, who were previously targeted by Roma this summer but did not find a place in their squads, Endrick is the most sought-after prospect. The club has ample funds available for January, with the intention of bolstering their squad, similar to the Malen transfer.

Endrick, a 2006-born player, is the front-runner for Roma's interest. Real Madrid, while willing to sell the Brazilian, prefers to retain him due to their substantial investment of around €60 million in his development. Sporting director D’Amico has been in discussions with Endrick's team, Roc Nation, and seems unfazed by any attempts by AC Milan to sign him.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Endrick has already spoken with Ancelotti, the Brazil national team coach, disclosing that he has a verbal agreement with Gasperini. Although Mourinho vetoed the move during the summer transfer window, it is unlikely that he will interfere with the 2006-born player in January.
