Roma were close to signing Endrick this summer. What caused the deal to fall through?

Mourinho’s intervention, asking the Real Madrid striker to wait a little longer before leaving.

The 2006-born player therefore stayed put in Spain with the intention of convincing the Special One. He hasn’t succeeded, at least so far.

Endrick, in fact, played only four minutes in the final minutes of the match against Elche.

The injury he suffered at the start of the season didn’t help him, as he missed the games against Espanyol, Real Sociedad, Malaga, and Betis. He subsequently remained on the bench when Real Madrid faced Rayo, Atlético Madrid, and Inter.

The Real Madrid striker remains locked out by the intense competition up front and could once again become an opportunity not to be missed. As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the opportunity to speak with the Blancos about the 2006-born player could be the match at the Olimpico on October 14th.

Ancelotti has provided the Giallorossi with an assist, urging them to play more prominently on the pitch from Endrick and other Brazilian players who, often sitting on the bench, can’t progress. He may not be a right-footed left winger, but the Real Madrid striker would still be an excellent offensive solution.
