Real Madrid\u2019s young striker Endrick has left the door open to another temporary move after a productive second half of the season on loan at Lyon. \u201cIf I have to return to Real Madrid, I\u2019ll go back there gladly,\u201d Endrick told CANAL+ Foot over the weekend. \u201cIf I have to go elsewhere, I\u2019ll go elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old Brazil senior international has averaged a goal or an assist every 106 minutes since arriving in Europe, a return that ensures plenty of interest. Links to Premier League names have circulated, but the concrete possibilities vary widely. A strong showing for Brazil at this summer\u2019s World Cup would only widen Endrick\u2019s options.<\/p>\n
Juventus (Likelihood: 1\/10)
\nJuventus have struggled to find a consistent scorer this campaign. Kenan Y\u0131ld\u0131z is the only player at the club with more than six league goals at this advanced stage, while the combined returns of Jonathan David (six), Lo\u00efs Openda (one) and Du\u0161an Vlahovi\u0107 (three) equal Y\u0131ld\u0131z\u2019s 10 Serie A goals. Luciano Spalletti has even experimented with Weston McKennie as a forward. With Vlahovi\u0107\u2019s contract talks entering their final weeks, a like-for-like, cheaper forward could appeal. Still, there has been no substantive indication that a move for Endrick is under consideration.<\/p>\n
Manchester United (Likelihood: 2\/10)
\nUnited have more pressing summer priorities in several areas of the squad, with left wing, central midfield and center back ranked above striking reinforcements. Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko fits the profile of a raw forward United might prefer, and reports have suggested the club might instead pursue a more experienced striker if they do recruit up front. One small point in Endrick\u2019s favour is familiarity with wet conditions: \u201cEndrick really likes playing in the rain,\u201d his father once revealed.<\/p>\n
Arsenal (Likelihood: 3\/10)
\nArsenal continue their search for a reliable goalscorer. Viktor Gy\u00f6keres\u2019s 18 goals across all competitions look useful on paper but conceal limitations against the division\u2019s stronger sides. Endrick has directly contributed to five goals across three appearances against Marseille, Monaco and Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain during his fleeting loan spell at Lyon. Mikel Arteta has previously accepted Real Madrid loanees and could contemplate another temporary option, though a permanent or more experienced signing may still be preferred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
