AC Milan plans to pursue Real Madrid forward Endrick in January

AC Milan has identified Real Madrid forward Endrick as a primary transfer target for the upcoming January window. The Serie A club intends to monitor the Brazilian international's playing time during the first half of the season to determine if a loan deal with an option to buy remains feasible. AC Milan previously attempted to sign the 20-year-old during the summer, but the approach was blocked by Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho. The striker recently returned from a muscle injury, and his ability to secure regular minutes in a competitive Real Madrid attack will likely dictate future negotiations. AS Roma has also been linked with interest in the player, though Mourinho’s influence in keeping the forward at the Santiago Bernabeu remains a significant factor for any potential departure. The Rossoneri have already informed representatives of their interest in a potential move.
