AS Roma plans to sign Endrick in January

AS Roma are moving early to sign Brazilian Endrick, the Real Madrid forward, during the upcoming winter transfer window, as the Italian club aims to strengthen their attacking line and provide coach Gian Piero Gasperini with a new attacking option.

According to "Corriere dello Sport", AS Roma are studying the possibility of signing Endrick on loan, with the option to include a buy clause in the agreement. This is a format that the Italian club has previously discussed with Real Madrid during their earlier attempts to acquire the player.

Reports suggest that the deal may also include a buy-back clause in favour of Real Madrid, giving the Spanish club the opportunity to re-sign the player in the future, should he excel with AS Roma, similar to contractual models used in previous transfers.

AS Roma have shown interest in Endrick since the summer, with his chances of leaving Real Madrid in January linked to how many minutes he gets under José Mourinho. Recent reports confirm that the future of the Brazilian forward will be reassessed before the winter transfer window opens.
