Arsenal handed Endrick boost as Real Madrid make transfer decision

Arsenal have received a potential transfer boost as Real Madrid are reportedly increasingly open to letting Endrick leave on loan in January. The 20-year-old forward has played only four minutes in La Liga this season after returning from a loan spell at Lyon, facing heavy competition from Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remains keen on adding the young Brazilian forward to his squad.

Roma are also pursuing Endrick after nearly signing him during the summer transfer window. Despite José Mourinho initially convincing the attacker to stay at Real Madrid, lack of playing time could force a winter exit. CaughtOffside reports that while Roma might offer clearer starting opportunities, Arsenal now view a temporary loan move as far more realistic than it was during the summer.
