Aston Villa are reportedly entering the race to land Real Madrid forward Endrick on loan this January, according to CADENA SER as relayed by English Premier League Index.
The Brazilian's future at the Bernabeu is once again becoming a pressing issue, with limited game time under Xabi Alonso pushing the 19-year-old towards a temporary exit to find consistent football. Villa are said to be among the clubs monitoring his situation, but they won't have it easy — European heavyweights are also reportedly circling, setting up a competitive scramble for his signature.
Endrick arrived at Real Madrid with huge expectations following his switch from Palmeiras, but has struggled to force his way into a star-studded attacking line-up. A loan move in January would give him the chance to rebuild momentum ahead of a crucial stretch in his career, though as it stands, nothing is confirmed and Real Madrid's final decision on his future remains unclear.
Villa's interest fits a pattern of top English clubs looking to Madrid's fringe talents for reinforcements, but with other major European sides reportedly in the mix, Unai Emery's side may face stiff competition to get a deal over the line.
