Real Madrid firmly states that Endrick is not available for transfer, dashing Arsenal's hopes of securing the 19-year-old Brazilian striker. This decision could reshape Arsenal's summer strategy as they seek to bolster their attacking options.
Real Madrid has made it clear to both Arsenal and Chelsea that Endrick is a key part of their first-team plans for the upcoming season. Currently on loan at Lyon, Endrick has shone in Ligue 1, scoring seven goals and providing seven assists in just 18 appearances. Despite Arsenal’s interest, sparked by the uncertainty surrounding Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, securing Endrick appears unlikely.
The Brazilian wonderkid, who Madrid signed from Palmeiras for a record €70 million in December 2022, has made 40 appearances for the club, netting seven goals. FIFA labeled him a ‘phenomenon’ when he joined, and even Xavi expressed interest in bringing him to Barcelona.
With Alvaro Arbeloa recently taking the helm at Madrid, Endrick is eager to return and solidify his place in the squad. Arsenal’s ambitions now face a significant obstacle as they must pivot to other targets in their quest for a new striker this summer.
