Real Madrid News Real Madrid forward sees January move to Serie A as a ‘realistic possibility’ – report Endrick’s future at Real Madrid remains uncertain despite the summer transfer window having closed, with AS Roma emerging as a potential destination for the Brazilian forward in January. The 20-year-old returned to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer after a successful six-month loan spell at Olympique Lyon, but is still not guaranteed a significant role in Jose Mourinho’s squad. There had been talks of a summer exit, especially after Carlos Espi’s arrival, but nothing came of it. However, if his playing time remains limited during the first half of the season, another temporary move could become an option. Endrick already considering Roma move And, Italian journalist and commentator Jacopo Aliprandi, who closely follows AS Roma, has revealed that Endrick has discussed the possibility of joining the Serie A club with people close to him. “Endrick has told his friends that moving to Roma in January is a very realistic possibility,” Aliprandi said in Corriere dello Sport (h/t Defensa Central). There is currently no agreement between the clubs, and any potential move would depend heavily on Endrick’s situation during the first part of the campaign. The Brazilian is still expected to fight for his place at Real Madrid, but another departure could be considered if he feels he is not getting the regular football required to continue his development. Competition for places is fierce at Real Madrid Endrick has returned to a Real Madrid squad packed with attacking options. Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. remain fixed starters in attack, while Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham are also viewed as extremely key in the team’s make-up. Throw into the mix the presence of Espi as the backup striker and the competition from players like Yan Diomande and Brahim Diaz on the right flank, Endrick faces a stiff competition for regular minutes. Mourinho, for his part, appreciates the youngster’s potential. Real Madrid, too, still regard him as an important investment for the future and have no intention of easily giving up his rights. However, at 20, the Brazilian needs consistent playing time to continue developing, and a prolonged spell on the bench could force the issue. So, If Roma were to make a move in January, the most likely solution would initially be a loan, allowing Endrick to gain regular experience in Serie A without Real Madrid committing to a permanent transfer. For now, Endrick’s priority is to convince Mourinho that he deserves a place in the Real Madrid team. Currently recovering from a muscle issue, the minutes he receives over the coming weeks will be crucial in determining what happens in January. Real Madrid News Dusan Vlahovic breaks silence on Real Madrid links after Besiktas move: ‘I’ve thought about it a lot’ Dusan Vlahovic’s summer could have taken him to Spain, but the Serbian striker has revealed why this dream move never materialised. Vlahovic was offered to several major sides during the transfer window, with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid among the clubs linked with his situation. At the time, his preference was to play in La Liga, although he did not have one particular Spanish club in mind. A move never materialised. Instead, Vlahovic opted for Besiktas, bringing an end to a summer in which his representatives explored multiple possibilities. What’s the story? The striker has now addressed that period, stating that plenty of clubs were involved before he settled on his next destination. Vlahovic confirmed that his situation generated considerable interest, although he declined to discuss individual clubs in detail. “I’ve spoken with many clubs. Being a free agent was normal. Many teams have asked for information or tried to sign me. “The transfer market is a very dynamic process: one day something happens and the next everything can change. “I’ve thought about it a lot, I’ve been patient, and in the end, I think I’ve made the best decision for my career. Time will tell if that’s the case, but I’m convinced.” He then addressed his links with Real Madrid and other European heavyweights, but refused to provide details out of respect for Besiktas. “Interest from Bayern, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético de Madrid? I don’t want to talk about that. “Right now, my only focus is Besiktas, because I’m their player and I want to get back to my best form to achieve the best results,” Vlahovic stated, as per Defensa Central. Why did Vlahovic choose Besiktas? The forward said that the decisive factor was not necessarily the biggest name involved. Rather, it was the club that showed the strongest commitment to signing him. Vlahovic explained why Besiktas ultimately stood out from the alternatives. “They did everything possible to sign me, because they contacted me throughout the summer, and I felt very satisfied.” That persistence appears to have made the difference. While his representatives looked for a route to Spain and explored opportunities with some of Europe’s biggest clubs, Besiktas continued pushing for the player.
