Brazilian forward Endrick has said he does not know whether he will leave Real Madrid in January and only wants to do what is best for his career, while AC Milan and Roma are working on possible moves for him, according to GOAL.
Endrick on January future and career priorities
Endrick said he wants to play, feel happy, help his team-mates, score goals and provide assists, but does not know what will happen in January and wants to do what is best for his career.
Speaking about his year at Real Madrid and his future, Endrick said: "I don't know what will happen in January, it's all in God's hands. I only ask to be able to do what's best for my career; whatever happens, happens."
Contract, salary and transfer outlay at Real Madrid
Endrick is under contract with Real Madrid until 2030.
AS reported that Endrick earns a reported €6 million gross per year until 2030.
Endrick is valued at around €60 million, and Real Madrid paid €35 million plus €25 million in bonuses for him in December 2022.
AC Milan and Roma interest and deal structures
AC Milan and Roma are interested in Endrick but want better terms as they work on a deal structure.
Real Madrid would prefer to loan Endrick out, while AC Milan and Roma are working to include an option to buy with a very high buy-back clause for Real Madrid or arrange a permanent transfer.
According to SempreMilan, AC Milan tried to sign Endrick on loan in the summer window, but Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho blocked his exit.
Mourinho's stance and Endrick's praise
Before the match against Roma, Mourinho tried to rule out a departure in the next winter transfer window, telling TNT Sports: "Forget it, forget it. Forget about any club that's interested. They'd better sit down and wait, otherwise they'll get tired. He's a player I adore, with incredible potential. He's very important to us. Anyone interested in him will have to deal with me, because I believe he doesn't need to go out on loan and that he will achieve extraordinary success here."
Endrick praised Mourinho, saying Mourinho asks about his private life and that Endrick will always give his all for Real Madrid.
National team call-ups
Ancelotti called up Endrick for friendlies against Japan on 14 November and Singapore on 17 November.
