Arsenal have made fresh enquiries about Endrick, with sources at Real Madrid confirming to TEAMtalk that the Gunners have renewed their interest in the highly rated Brazilian wonderkid. The latest approach indicates that Arsenal remain attentive to Endrick’s situation and are exploring whether an opportunity could emerge for the 20-year-old forward.Endrick was heavily linked with a move to England earlier this summer.
At the time, our sources revealed that his representatives had examined the possibility of a transfer and contacted several Premier League clubs to assess the level of interest and determine which destinations might suit the player best.Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Fulham were all approached as Endrick’s camp considered his options.
The discussions were part of a broader assessment of potential opportunities rather than confirmation that a transfer to any particular club was close to being completed.Real Madrid were weighing how best to manage the situation involving the 20-year-old, with a loan move among the possibilities under consideration.
However, new head coach Jose Mourinho made it clear that he wanted Endrick to remain at the Bernabeu and continue working with the first-team squad.Indeed, Mourinho said: “He’s a player I really like a lot. He had tons and tons of inquiries from clubs that wanted him, whether to loan him out or to sell him, but I didn’t want to.“It’s already decided, I’m not going to loan him out or sell him, because I like working with this young player, who has talents that are very important for the games.
”However, TEAMtalk can now reveal that Arsenal have returned with fresh enquiries after sanctioning Gabriel Martinelli’s move to Al-Hilal. Martinelli’s departure could create additional room in Arsenal’s attacking group, prompting the club to revisit Endrick’s situation and investigate whether a deal might be possible despite Mourinho’s stated desire to keep the teenager in Madrid.The Gunners had already held discussions with Real earlier in the summer, initially speaking to the Spanish giants about Vinicius Junior.
During those conversations, Arsenal also made enquiries about Endrick and Arda Guler as they examined possible solutions for strengthening their attacking options.Real have since secured Vinicius’ future by tying him to a new contract, while Guler has started both of their opening games, highlighting Mourinho’s confidence in the young Turkey international and his willingness to give him an important role. Real have also continued to invest significantly in the next generation of attacking talent, signing Yan Diomande in a deal that makes him one of the most expensive teenagers in football history.
Carlos Espi has arrived as a ‘different’ option capable of operating centrally and has already opened his account for his new club.Endrick concerns emerge as Arsenal also monitor duoThat increasingly competitive situation has raised concerns within Endrick’s camp over the Brazilian’s immediate prospects at the Bernabeu.We understand that those close to the forward cannot see how he will play a major role under Mourinho, despite the head coach’s public support for the youngster and his continued backing of Endrick’s potential.Endrick is currently sidelined by a tendon issue, which has kept him out of Real’s opening games.
However, he could be fit enough to return this weekend, leaving his camp to consider the options available to him as they assess his position.Real Sociedad expressed a desire to sign Endrick after their recent match at the Bernabeu, while a number of other clubs are continuing to monitor developments and could explore a move if his limited opportunities persist.Endrick knows Arsenal are among the clubs considering him, and our sources indicate that the opportunity to join one of Europe’s biggest teams could appeal to him.
The possibility of a more direct and clearly defined path toward consistent first-team football is also understood to be an attractive factor for the young forward.However, Endrick is not the only left-sided attacking option Arsenal are evaluating.We understand that the Gunners are actively assessing potential replacements on the left following Martinelli’s departure. Earlier, we revealed that Arsenal had made inquiries about Marseille winger Igor Paixao in recent days, underlining the breadth of their search before the transfer deadline.Lyon’s Malick Fofana is another player Arsenal have been informed about as a possible longer-term target, with the Belgian winger continuing to be monitored as the club considers its options.
Arsenal also remain very keen on Julian Alvarez, although their plans for the Atletico Madrid forward would involve using him in a central role rather than on the left.Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are also being kept informed about developments surrounding Endrick, ensuring that several major clubs remain aware of his situation.However, Arsenal are the club genuinely exploring Endrick as a potential answer to their left-sided attacking needs ahead of Tuesday’s transfer deadline.

The Gunners have now completed Martinelli’s sale to Al-Hilal and are actively pursuing attacking reinforcements, with Endrick becoming an option they are seriously considering alongside Paixao and several other targets.Real’s position remains a significant factor in determining whether any deal can happen, especially because Mourinho wants to keep the Brazilian forward. Nevertheless, increasing concerns within Endrick’s camp could create an opportunity for Arsenal to make a late move before the window closes.
