Brazilian forward Endrick, already signed by Real Madrid, is seeking a highly specific loan move to a top European club, with Juventus emerging as a primary contender, as he aims to secure crucial playing time.
The 17-year-old, along with his team, has established demanding conditions for any potential loan destination. These criteria reflect a strategic approach to his development.
Key requirements include joining a club in one of Europe’s top five leagues – Spain, England, Italy, Germany, or France – or one of the three major Portuguese clubs.
The chosen team must also be participating in either the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europa League. Endrick’s camp additionally stipulates that the club must employ an attacking philosophy.
Furthermore, the desired club must either be actively contending for its domestic league title or demonstrate a strong commitment to doing so. The loan is targeted for January.
Initial reports from the Spanish press first highlighted Endrick’s desire for this meticulously planned loan.
ESPN later conducted an analysis, contacting sources to identify clubs that meet these stringent conditions. The publication’s shortlist includes Juventus, Real Sociedad, Marseille, and Sevilla.
Among these, ESPN specifically noted that Italian powerhouse Juventus would offer the most sensible pathway for Endrick’s continued growth before his eventual return to Real Madrid.
