Endrick open to AC Milan move as Real Madrid starlet pushes for January loan escape

Milan have emerged as the frontrunners to secure his signature after receiving a positive signal from the player’s camp. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan owner Gerry Cardinale could hold the trump card in negotiations thanks to his professional ties beyond the football pitch. Endrick is represented by Roc Nation, a powerful agency that maintains an excellent relationship with the RedBird chief. This existing rapport between Cardinale and the player’s representatives is viewed as a decisive factor that could allow the Italian giants to beat out stiff competition from elsewhere in Europe.

While Milan are leading the chase, they are not the only suitors monitoring the situation. In Serie A, Gian Piero Gasperini is reportedly keen to bring the Brazilian to Roma, while Premier League side Aston Villa have also been linked with a move. However, Cardinale remains extremely confident that the Rossoneri can finalize a deal if Real Madrid officially sanction a loan exit. The financial aspect of the deal also appears manageable, as Endrick’s current net salary of €2.5 million plus bonuses fits within the Milanese club’s wage structure.
