Tottenham Hotspur could have an opportunity to strengthen their attack in January, with Real Madrid reportedly prepared to allow Endrick to leave the club temporarily.
Spurs have endured a difficult start to the Premier League season under Roberto De Zerbi. Despite bringing in 10 new players during the summer, Tottenham have struggled badly in front of goal and currently sit at the bottom of the table.
The lack of attacking output could force the club to consider another forward when the January transfer window opens. Endrick has now emerged as one possible option.
According to reports from TEAMtalk, Real Madrid are willing to sanction a loan move for the Brazilian forward in January. Tottenham are among several major clubs interested in the 20-year-old.
However, Real Madrid have made their position clear: they are not prepared to sell Endrick permanently. Any deal would have to be a temporary loan, with no option for the interested club to buy him at the end of the spell. (Read Tottenham)
Endrick remains highly regarded by Real Madrid, but the club accepts that he needs regular football to continue developing. His lack of opportunities this season has therefore opened the door for a possible temporary departure.
For Tottenham, the Brazilian could be an attractive option because of his versatility. He is capable of operating as a centre-forward but can also play in wider attacking positions, giving De Zerbi another option in his forward line.
A loan would also represent a relatively low-risk move for Spurs. Rather than committing to a major permanent transfer, Tottenham could bring in a highly rated young attacker for the second half of the season and assess how he fits into the team.
However, Tottenham face competition. Arsenal are also interested, while AC Milan and Roma are currently considered strong contenders because they are reportedly more comfortable with Real Madrid’s preferred straight-loan arrangement. (TheHardTackle.com)
Endrick previously enjoyed a productive loan spell at Lyon, where he impressed with his performances and goal contributions. His current situation at Madrid has increased the possibility that another loan could be used to give him the regular first-team football he needs.
For Spurs, the opportunity could be particularly appealing given their struggles in attack. If Real Madrid remain willing to loan Endrick out in January, Tottenham could explore a deal that would give De Zerbi another dangerous attacking option without requiring a permanent commitment.
The key issue will be whether Spurs can convince Endrick and Real Madrid that North London is the right destination for his development. (Read Tottenham)
