Romano and Moretto provide update on Milan’s Endrick pursuit: “Hasn’t said no”

By: Ben Dixon

This week, there have been some interesting rumours about AC Milan and their pursuit of Endrick. However, it may have been a bit misleading.

Yesterday, it seemed that Milan were almost out of the race to sign Endrick, with the Brazilian against the club’s Devil logo. Instead, the Corriere dello Sport report would have you believe that he’d prefer a move to Roma.

However, his agency have denied this rumour and later reports suggested that the Rossoneri are very much in the race to sign the Brazilian. In fact, he could even leave Real Madrid permanently – with future clauses – so things have certainly developed a bit this week.

Speaking on his YouTube channel today, Romano provided an update on Endrick’s situation alongside Matteo Moretto and their words have been relayed by MilanNews.

“Endrick is currently evaluating his future. On one side, Real Madrid doesn’t want to release him, from the president to Jose Mourinho, who continues to reiterate this publicly; on the other, the boy wants to play,” Romano started.

“I wanted to add a footnote: Endrick’s entourage, ROC Nation, are letting it be known that the player hasn’t said no to Milan; he hasn’t said no to anyone on November 12th. He’s still in the evaluation phase; we’ll see what happens.

“He has two months left with Real Madrid: football changes in five minutes. Endrick’s position is currently completely open, and he’s a player—we were the first to talk about him—that Milan really likes. But it’s true that Roma is also there, there’s a queue of many teams ready to chase him.

“I just wanted to clarify that Endrick hasn’t said no to Milan. He’s keeping everything open while waiting to figure out—if he leaves—the best solution.”

Moretto then added, “A lot will depend on the player. In December, he’ll really understand what kind of path he wants to take. He’s currently noticing this lack of playing time, so the loan option is taking shape. Roma have been maintaining contact for weeks.

“Roma want an additional striker because they believe with one or two signings they can really compete for something important this year. Keep an eye on Roma, but Milan was one of the first to move, and the relationship between Cardinale and ROC Nation is excellent. So far, Roma has maintained contact a little more actively, but Milan is insisting.”

It’s clear that January will be very interesting where Endrick is involved, especially with him being the one to make the decisions on his future.
