According to the Spanish newspaper "AS", Endrick and Real Madrid had already reached an agreement regarding the player's move to Roma on loan, before Jose Mourinho intervened and convinced the Brazilian striker to stay in the Spanish capital.
The 20-year-old Endrick feels increasingly frustrated due to his limited playing time with Real Madrid, after agreeing in January 2026 to a six-month loan move to Olympique Lyon.
The Brazilian striker delivered impressive performances with Lyon, scoring 8 goals and providing 8 assists in just 21 matches, earning himself a place in the Brazil squad participating in the 2026 World Cup under Carlo Ancelotti.
Roma attempted to sign Endrick during the past summer transfer window, in a deal that would have given him the opportunity to play in Serie A and the Champions League under Gian Piero Gasperini.
The report clarified that the details of the deal had already been finalized, and everything was ready for signature, before Mourinho intervened and persuaded Endrick to remain at Real Madrid.
Things did not go as the player hoped, as Endrick has featured in only one La Liga match this season, for just 4 minutes.
According to the report, Endrick's patience has now run out, and he is prepared to push for a departure in January, making Roma the leading club seeking to re-sign him.
Roma faces competition from several major European clubs, including Milan, which reports suggest may submit an offer for the services of the Brazilian striker.
Endrick is under contract with Real Madrid, but his lack of playing time could lead both the club and the player to explore the possibility of a loan exit during the upcoming winter transfer window.
