According to “Calciomercato”, Cardinale, Amorim and the working group will make another push to sign Endrick, regardless of how the previous attempt ended.

Milan believe the Brazilian can operate as a centre-forward or drop into a withdrawn role behind Goncalo Ramos.

Endrick is the clearest sign of Milan’s strategy: reopening deals they couldn’t get over the line before. The club are convinced the project of building a team capable of competing for and winning titles is only just getting started.

The website quoted the newspaper “Corriere dello Sport” as saying that Roma also rate Endrick among the names worth considering to bolster their attack down the line.
