Arsenal Renew Interest in Endrick Amid Real Madrid's Firm Stance

Arsenal have gone back to Real Madrid over the future of Endrick, stepping up their interest in the Brazilian forward as they prepare for life after Gabriel Martinelli.

The Premier League champions have made fresh contact with the Spanish giants this week, sounding out Madrid’s stance on the 20-year-old after his impressive loan spell at Lyon. The Gunners are actively hunting attacking reinforcements, and Endrick’s name is back near the top of their list.

Madrid’s position, though, has been clear in public. José Mourinho has already moved to shut down talk of another loan or a permanent exit, insisting the young striker will stay in the Spanish capital beyond the current window. That has not stopped speculation from building around a player long tagged as one of Brazil’s most exciting prospects.

According to TEAMtalk, Real Madrid sources have confirmed that Arsenal have “renewed their interest” in Endrick, with the London club checking in again on his availability. The approach follows earlier conversations between the two clubs, when Arsenal first asked about the Brazilian during talks over a possible deal involving Vinícius Jr.

Endrick returned to Valdebebas this summer after a productive stint in Ligue 1, and for a time another temporary move seemed likely. Mourinho’s stance has pushed back against that idea, yet Arsenal’s latest enquiry underlines how highly they rate the former Palmeiras starlet.

The message from Madrid is that he is going nowhere. The message from Arsenal is that they are not ready to walk away.
