Liverpool have identified Brazilian forward Endrick as a potential attacking option, aiming to add a versatile young player capable of operating across multiple positions in the front line.
The English club’s interest comes after the player returned to Real Madrid following the conclusion of his loan spell at Lyon, which helped him regain form and secure regular playing time.
Endrick’s future had been subject to speculation in recent weeks amid interest from several clubs, most notably Aston Villa and Roma, both of which explored the possibility of signing him on loan for the upcoming season.
According to ESPN Brasil, Liverpool made an approach to sign Endrick; however, the player rejected the prospect of moving to Anfield and informed the involved parties that he does not wish to leave Real Madrid at this time.
Endrick prefers to fight for his opportunity under manager José Mourinho despite fierce competition in attack, particularly as the Portuguese coach sees potential in utilizing him either as a central striker or on the right wing.
Following meetings between Real Madrid’s management, the technical staff, and Endrick’s representatives, it was decided that the 20-year-old will remain with the club, after “The Special One” approved giving him a chance to prove himself and compete for a spot in the squad.
Nevertheless, the Brazilian may reassess his position during the upcoming winter transfer window, as a January loan move remains a viable option should he fail to establish himself or secure sufficient playing time.
