Juventus have contacted Real Madrid a few times recently to inquire about the availability of Endrick, who might indeed go out on loan after struggling to garner regular minutes since coming in. The decision is up to new coach Xabi Alonso, El Chiringuito reports (via Tuttomercatoweb).

The starlet broke out at Palmeiras and was quickly onboarded by Real Madrid for nearly €50M in 2024. He featured 37 times in his first European campaign, although mostly from the bench. The 18-year-old has scored five of his seven goals in the Copa del Rey. He logged just 847 total minutes.

Real Madrid don’t want to sell Endrick but could agree to send him to another team temporarily, and Juventus have displayed strong interest in that sense. However, Los Blancos wants to find a replacement first. The Bianconeri will sell Dusan Vlahovic, while the future of Randal Kolo Muani, who’s on loan from PSG, is up in the air.

The Old Lady plans to sign two strikers. In addition to tracking Victor Osimhen, they have kicked the tires on Viktor Gyokeres, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs. He has a €100M release clause, though. Several Premier League sides are pursuing him too. Arsenal are leading the race, Alfredo Pedullà reports.

Our Take on Juventus, Endrick, and Gyokeres

Acquiring a top-notch marksman and somebody who can man that role in relief but also handle other positions would be the right move to have sufficient depth but also avoid creating an unnecessary and expensive dualism. Still, signing somebody on a simple loan isn’t great. They are already paying the price for that in other situations.
