It is no secret that Endrick is a target for AC Milan ahead of the winter window, but the formula and figures of a potential deal have emerged.

According to the broadcaster SportMediaset (via MilanNews ), if Endrick were to leave Real Madrid on loan during the January mercato, it is Milan that are the club in the front row to land him , having tried in the summer.

Gerry Cardinale’s hope is that it is second time lucky, after Jose Mourinho blocked Endrick’s exit in August. In this first part of the season, the former Palmeiras starlet has played just a handful of minutes, due to the presence of other elite forwards in the squad.

A possible option

So, the 20-year-old is seriously considering leaving the Santiago Bernabeu to find consistency and playing time at a high level, just as he did last winter when he joined Lyon. A year ago, his move to France proved to be a good one as he scored eight goals and added eight assists.

However, if the deal was a dry loan last January, this time around the right solution might be a loan with an option to buy and a buy-back. It is the same formula Milan and Real Madrid agreed for Brahim Diaz years ago.

It was a situation that proved to be a win-win for everyone at the time, with Diaz even winning a Scudetto with the Rossoneri. It allowed Los Blancos to have a player develop, but ultimately retain control.

Endrick is also attracting strong interest from Roma and Aston Villa . The figures to reach an agreement could be a loan with a €35-40m option to buy in June 2027, and a buy-back option in favour of Real Madrid in the region of €45-50m.
