Juventus Eye Loan Move for Real Madrid Starlet Endrick in January
Real Madrid’s young Brazilian forward Endrick could be heading for a temporary move away from Spain this January, with Juventus among the clubs showing strong interest. Reports from transfer expert Matteo Moretto indicate that the Serie A giants made inquiries about the 19-year-old during the summer transfer window and remain keen to bring him to Italy in the winter.
Endrick, who joined Real Madrid amid huge expectations and a hefty transfer fee, has struggled to secure regular playing time at the Santiago Bernabéu. So far this season, the Brazilian talent has not featured in La Liga or the UEFA Champions League, raising questions about his development and future under manager Xabi Alonso.
According to Moretto, Juventus were among several clubs including teams from Spain and Germany that asked for information on Endrick’s availability earlier this year. Although Real Madrid initially decided to keep the player in their ranks, the lack of minutes has sparked discussions within the club about the best path forward for his progress.
“Surely, Endrick wants more playing time, especially with the World Cup approaching,” said Moretto. “Even Carlo Ancelotti, who has close ties to Brazilian football, wants him to play more regularly ahead of next summer’s tournament.”
This statement reflects growing concern about Endrick’s stagnation at Madrid. With a stacked attacking lineup featuring stars like Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, and Arda Güler, the teenager faces stiff competition. Injuries have also disrupted his rhythm, making it harder to secure a place in the starting eleven.
Sources close to Calciomercato.com reveal that Real Madrid are now open to considering a loan deal in January, allowing the forward to gain valuable experience elsewhere in Europe. Serie A has emerged as a likely destination, and Juventus are expected to make another approach once the transfer window reopens.
For Juventus, the idea of signing Endrick on loan aligns with their long-term vision of nurturing young talent. The Bianconeri were already interested in the player last summer but couldn’t convince Real Madrid to release him at the time. Now, with the situation changing in Spain, the Italian giants sense a new opportunity.
However, there is one major obstacle: Juventus’ current attacking depth. The club already boasts three senior strikers Dusan Vlahović, Lois Openda, and Jonathan David. While Vlahović remains the mainstay of the team’s attack, both Openda and David have yet to deliver consistent performances since joining the Turin side.
That inconsistency could actually work in Endrick’s favor. Juventus see him as a dynamic forward who could bring unpredictability and fresh energy to their offensive setup. Given his pace, flair, and technical skill, the Brazilian teenager fits the mold of the modern striker that Serie A clubs increasingly value.
If a deal materializes, the move would mark a significant step in Endrick’s European journey. Regular game time in Italy could accelerate his adaptation to top-level football while giving Real Madrid a clearer idea of his readiness for future seasons.
For now, talks remain informal, but both Juventus and Real Madrid are expected to revisit the situation in December. A successful loan spell could benefit all parties Juventus get a promising attacker, Endrick gains experience, and Real Madrid preserve their long-term investment.
As the January transfer window approaches, Endrick’s future looks increasingly likely to involve Serie A, with Juventus leading the chase for one of football’s most exciting young prospects.
