AC Milan consider January loan move for Real Madrid forward Endrick

AC Milan are considering a January loan deal for Real Madrid forward Endrick, with the Italian club prepared to pursue an option to buy the Brazil international for €60m, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report says Milan have identified €60m as the fee they would be willing to pay for Endrick. Their preferred arrangement would initially involve taking the player on loan from Real Madrid, with a clause allowing them to make the transfer permanent at the end of the loan period.

The total cost could rise to €80m if performance-related bonuses are included.

Endrick has made only a limited number of appearances for Real Madrid this season. He has scored one goal and provided one assist in 141 minutes of playing time.

The 21-year-old enjoyed a productive loan spell with French club Lyon last season, featuring in 21 matches, scoring eight goals and registering seven assists.

Milan are not the only club interested in signing Endrick during the January transfer window. Several other sides are also reported to be considering a loan move, including Premier League clubs Arsenal and Aston Villa.
