Real Madrid are currently going through a hard time on the pitch and same goes to Brazilian forward Endrick who has seen limited game time.
Signed in the summer for a fee around £60million, Endrick has struggled to get game time under his belt with Carlo Ancelotti preferring the more experience Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo.
Endrick’s game time does not look like improving any time soon and the Brazilian is willing to take up a new challenge. According to Spanish outlet SPORT, Endrick has been linked with a loan move to English top-flight strugglers Southampton.
Sport also added that AS Roma and Real Valladoid are also interested in the player.

Rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table, a move to the South Coast would certainly come as a surprise for one of football’s hottest prospects.
It is understood that the 18-year-old Brazilian needs more game time at the Santiago Bernabeu and a loan move might help prove he has what it takes to start upfront.
Southampton’s brand of possession based football could be seen as an attraction to the player who has broken various record since arriving at Madrid.
Despite his young age, Endrick already has an impressive 13 national caps to his name.
Bagging the winner at Wembley versus England in March 2024, he became the youngest player to score for club or country at the iconic stadium when just 17.
Endrick is also Real’s youngest-ever Champions League goalscorer at 18 years, one month and 27 days old. He bagged this record after scoring against Stuttgart.
The 18-year-old also scored on his La Liga debut in August after coming off the bench for a five-minute cameo against Real Valladolid.
At 18 years and 35 days old, Endrick became the youngest foreign player to score for Real Madrid in La Liga history.
