The full picture

Arsenal have maintained contact with Real Madrid regarding the potential signing of Endrick in January, with the player's representatives exploring options due to a lack of regular minutes. The Gunners are willing to offer Endrick a fresh opportunity, while Real Madrid prefer to retain him. The key issue is likely to be the deal structure, according to EPL Index.

Arsenal's preferred formula for signing Endrick is a loan with an option to buy, which could be decisive if discussions progress. This differs from other interested clubs like AC Milan and Roma, who are pushing for a loan without an option to buy. Real Madrid favour a temporary arrangement that brings Endrick back to the Santiago Bernabeu.

The situation remains open, with Arsenal having maintained contact, Endrick's camp exploring alternatives, and Real Madrid wanting to keep him. The coming weeks may determine whether this is merely monitoring or the start of a more serious move. Arsenal's interest in Endrick aligns with their wider planning to add a left-sided attacker and a centre-forward.

According to TeamTalk, the Brazilian’s representatives are now exploring options after a lack of regular minutes in Madrid, and the Gunners remain firmly in the conversation. This is a situation that appears to be moving carefully rather than dramatically, but there are multiple strands worth watching. Arsenal are understood to be willing to offer the 20-year-old a fresh opportunity in north London, while Real Madrid continue to signal that they would prefer to retain the player. The key issue, as so often in these cases, is likely to be deal structure. The central detail in this developing story is Arsenal’s preferred formula.
