Endrick's second spell in the spotlight at Real Madrid is not going according to plan. Under José Mourinho, the 20-year-old forward has made just one appearance this season, fuelling speculation over another loan departure in January, with Roma and AC Milan monitoring the situation closely.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma right-back Wesley, a teammate of Endrick with the Brazilian national team, has already contacted his compatriot to express his desire to welcome him to the Italian capital and share a dressing room.

A move to Rome would see Endrick join a versatile attacking unit, though competition for places would be intense. Gian Piero Gasperini already has Malen, Santi Castro, Paulo Dybala, Matías Soulé, Rodrigo Mora, and Lorenzo Pellegrini at his disposal, meaning the Brazilian would have to battle for playing time from day one.

Coincidentally, Roma and Real Madrid are set to face off next Wednesday at the Stadio Olimpico in the UEFA Champions League.

Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim's AC Milan also remain vigilant, having previously explored a deal for the young forward.

The Rossoneri are seeking an alternative to Gonçalo Ramos, and Alexandre Pato recently revealed that club owner Gerry Cardinale is actively working to bring Endrick to Milan in January.

The Brazilian is now looking to revive his career after falling out of favour in Madrid. During a loan stint at Lyon in the second half of last season under Paulo Fonseca, he featured in 21 matches and netted eight goals.
