Aston Villa are monitoring Endrick’s situation in the final weeks of the summer transfer window. The Real Madrid wonderkid could be made available for a loan move following his impressive spell at Lyon last season. Endrick joined Madrid two summers ago, in July 2024, but has found game time hard to come by due to the world-class competition for places at the Bernabeu. Reports in Spain claim that Endrick is keen to find regular minutes elsewhere in Europe for the upcoming campaign, and BirminghamLive understands that the Europa League winners are attentive to the possibility. After making just one La Liga appearance in the first half of last season, Endrick then joined Lyon and made a stunning impact, recording 16 goal contributions in the 21 matches he played for the French club across all competitions. Villa are looking to add more strength in depth to their attacking options, with Leon Bailey expected to join Hull City and Evann Guessand again attracting interest from Crystal Palace in this window. Morgan Rogers was sold to Chelsea for £117 million, while Jadon Sancho's loan spell ended at the end of last season. Youri Tielemans, who can also operate in advanced areas of the pitch, joined Manchester United for £35 million earlier this summer.
