Manchester United<\/a>, Chelsea and other Premier League sides have reportedly been \u2018contacted\u2019 over signing Real Madrid star Endrick.<\/p>\n

The forward joined Real Madrid from Brazilian outfit Palmeiras in 2022 for around \u00a351m with the reputation of being one of the best young footballers in the world.<\/p>\n

However, the 20-year-old\u2019s career at Real Madrid is yet to get off the ground, and he spent the second half of the 2025\/26 campaign on loan at Ligue Un outfit Lyon.<\/p>\n

And Endrick <\/a>shone for Lyon, having contributed six goals and seven assists in his 18 appearances.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Endrick\u2019s future at Real Madrid remains in doubt, partly because he faces having limited game time following the arrival of Yan Diomande.<\/p>\n

And this has led to reports linking Endrick with a summer transfer, with our colleagues at TEAMtalk reporting<\/a> that he is \u2018frustrated\u2019 and keen on an exit.<\/p>\n

The report claims Man Utd<\/a> and Chelsea are among a host of Premier League clubs who have been \u2018contacted\u2019 over signing Endrick.<\/p>\n

Endrick has reportedly decided that his \u2018preferred destination\u2019 is a move to England, and \u2018Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Fulham have also \u2018held conversations regarding the Brazil international\u2019s situation\u2019.<\/p>\n

Now, Endrick\u2019s representatives are said to be \u2018in dialogue with Real Madrid over what an exit could look like\u2019, with president Florentino Perez only open to sanctioning his exit on one condition.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid \u2018only want\u2019 Endrick exit on one condition<\/p>\n

According to the report, Real Madrid \u2018only wants\u2019 a straight loan deal for Endrick, and this would only appeal to certain Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n

The report claims:<\/p>\n

\u2018Real\u2019s preference would be another straight loan, similar to the arrangement that saw him spend last season at Lyon, and crucially without any purchase option.<\/p>\n

\u2018That model would appeal to Tottenham, Aston Villa and Fulham, all of whom would be open to such a deal. However, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have all made it clear that they would only seriously consider a move if it included an option to buy.\u2019<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Endrick was keen to keep his options open when he was asked about his Real Madrid future.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I have any chance of staying at Olympique Lyonnais? Honestly, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m here on loan for six months.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIf I have to go back to Real Madrid, I\u2019ll do it gladly. And if I have to go somewhere else, I\u2019ll do that too.\u201d<\/p>\n
