Juventus contact Real Madrid over summer deal for attacker | OneFootball

La Liga giants Real Madrid this week received fresh contact from their counterparts at Italian heavyweights Juventus, over a potential transfer for the summer.

That’s according to Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda, who points towards Endrick as the player at the heart of the discussions.

Frontman Endrick is for his part of course fresh off something of a hit-and-miss debut campaign in Spain’s capital.

Though he showcased flashes of his undoubted potential, particularly in the Copa del Rey, the Brazilian found game-time largely difficult to come by.

As much came with Kylian Mbappé ahead of Endrick in the centre-forward pecking order in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

With this in mind, another of European football’s leading clubs have this week moved to take advantage of the young attacker’s situation with a view to next season.

As per the aforementioned Eduardo Inda:

‘Juventus have requested Endrick’s loan. Xabi Alonso would be willing to let the Brazilian leave if the club signed a backup striker for Mbappé.’
