Arsenal is reportedly preparing to make a move for Real Madrid’s young talent, Endrick, with a proposed offer of €60 million (£50 million) this summer. Despite being hailed as one of the most promising players in world football, Endrick’s playing time at Real Madrid has been limited.
The Brazilian forward, who moved to Madrid for around €60 million, has shown his potential by scoring in both the Champions League and La Liga, but he has struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup. With just over 400 minutes of play this season, Endrick was left on the bench as Kylian Mbappe led the attack in a Champions League match, scoring a hat-trick against Manchester City.
A report from Fichajes reveals that despite Endrick’s potential, the competition for spots in the attacking line at Real Madrid may continue to hinder his opportunities. Arsenal could take advantage of this situation, preparing a €60 million bid, with the Gunners seeing Endrick as a key player both for the present and the future. Endrick could view a move to Arsenal as a positive step, as he would likely receive more playing time compared to his current situation at Madrid.
How Endrick Could Fit into Arsenal
Endrick is versatile and can play anywhere along the front line, although his primary position is as a striker. At Arsenal, there isn’t a world-class forward to block his path to regular play, with competition mainly coming from Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz. Jesus has had a slow start to the season, scoring his first Premier League goal in December, while Havertz has shown flashes of potential but hasn’t been consistently dominant. If Endrick performs well early on, he could secure a place as Arsenal’s main striker, with the potential to hold that position long-term.
Arsenal’s Ongoing Striker Search
In addition to Endrick, Arsenal is reportedly looking at other striker options. They are preparing a significant offer for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, who is valued at £150 million. Arsenal is also eyeing Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic, who could be available for as little as £33 million due to his contract nearing its end, while Randal Kolo Muani’s good performances for Serie A side Juventus have led to speculation about his future.
