Real Madrid’s Endrick tipped for surprise loan move to Southampton

Brazilian prodigy Endrick, 18, could be heading to the Premier League on loan to Southampton according to reports.

The forward joined Real Madrid this summer in a deal worth up to £60m after impressing at Palmeiras and earning 13 caps for Brazil.

However, his move to European football has been slow, with just 55 minutes of La Liga action so far, despite registering a goal and an assist.

Behind stars like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo in Real Madrid’s pecking order, Endrick is said to be open to a temporary move to gain valuable game time.

Southampton, struggling at the bottom of the Premier League with just seven goals this season, are reportedly keen to secure Endrick on loan.

Spanish outlet Sport claims the Saints face competition from AS Roma and Real Valladolid, who are also monitoring the teenager’s situation.
