Arsenal in Talks for Real Madrid’s Endrick
Arsenal holding talks with Real Madrid for Brazil striker Endrick as Gabriel Martinelli prepares to leave

The update
Arsenal have held talks with Real Madrid over a possible move for Brazil forward Endrick, according to recent reports. The 20-year-old, who joined Madrid from Palmeiras in 2024, spent last season on loan at Lyon where he scored eight goals in 21 appearances. His representatives are reportedly open to a move, though Madrid aren’t thought to be ready to let him leave.
Why it matters
This move represents Arsenal’s strategic pivot to address their winger crisis following Gabriel Martinelli’s impending exit to Al Hilal. The Gunners are actively seeking a new left-sided attacker to bolster their title challenge, with Endrick emerging as a primary target alongside other options like Malick Fofana and Marcus Rashford.
What to watch
Will Real Madrid consider letting Endrick leave just two years after his high-profile transfer? How would this potential move impact Arsenal’s wage structure and squad balance? What would be the asking price for a player who cost Madrid €72 million in 2024?
