Report Endrick puts Aston Villa top of wish list despite Roma and Milan battle

Aston Villa have emerged as the frontrunner to sign Real Madrid's talented Brazilian midfielder, Endrick, according to Spanish reports. The interest in the 24-year-old, who has been struggling for playing time under Jose Mourinho at the Bernabeu, comes despite competition from Roma and AC Milan. The Serie A clubs had previously attempted to sign the player during the summer transfer window, with Roma even securing an initial deal that was later thwarted by Mourinho.

However, the Giallorossi have remained interested and Milan have also made a push for the promising talent. Meanwhile, Cadena Ser in Spain claims that Aston Villa are the favorites to secure Endrick's signature, citing the Premier League side's Champions League participation and their new coach, Unai Emery. Milan, who are also in the competition, would likely be the third choice for the England international, with his next move heavily dependent on getting regular playing time.
