The board at La Liga giants Real Madrid this week received fresh contact from their counterparts at Premier League champions Arsenal, regarding the situation of young striker Endrick.
This comes as the Gunners seek out reinforcements in the final third ahead of the imminent departure of Gabriel Martinelli.
Endrick’s future in Spain’s capital has of course proven a headline talking point at Real Madrid across the summer to date. After the 20-year-old returned to base at Valdebebas following a fruitful loan stint in France with Lyon, it was suggested that another temporary departure could be on the cards.
José Mourinho has since moved to assure that his young goalscorer will be going nowhere before the window slams shut, but speculation surrounding Endrick’s name has nevertheless continued to circulate.
And as alluded to above, late this week, the former Palmeiras sensation has been linked with another of European football’s leading clubs. As per a report from TEAMtalk:
‘Arsenal have made fresh enquiries about Endrick, with Real Madrid sources confirming to TEAMtalk that the Gunners have renewed their interest in the Brazilian wonderkid.’
The Emirates brass previously asked about Endrick’s situation during talks with their Bernabéu counterparts regarding a deal for Vinícius Jr, and have evidently not yet thrown in the towel on a potential move for the prodigious centre-forward.
