Endrick defends his place at Real Madrid, Milan and Roma's hopes fade
The 20‑year‑old Brazilian has said he will fight for his place at Real Madrid, a statement that comes right after his decisive goal at the Stadio Olimpico in the 4‑3 victory over Roma.
The statements that cast doubt on the transfer
According to MilanNews24, Endrick's words, spoken after the “Wednesday” match, have cast a shadow over the negotiations for a possible Serie A transfer in “January”. “If I cannot help Real Madrid, I will be the first to leave. Being here is difficult, but I will fight for this every day,” the Brazilian said.
Market context and precedents
Real Madrid would have considered only a winter loan for the young striker, with Milan and Roma showing interest since the summer, when José Mourinho blocked his departure. Milan, thanks to its ties with the Roc Nation agency, and Roma, with fellow Brazilian Wesley who would have applied pressure, tried to secure the player.
Endrick, on loan at Lyon last season, recorded five goals and seven assists in 16 appearances, demonstrating his offensive value.

In the “August” match in Budapest, “Hungary”, at the Groupama Arena, Endrick came on in the 55th minute, scored his first header goal for Real Madrid, contributing to the 3‑3 draw before Antonio Rüdiger's decisive goal.
The youngster emphasized that “coaches do what is best for the player and the team” and reiterated his intention to work every day for Real Madrid throughout his career.
