There are a number of Italian clubs keen on signing Endrick from Real Madrid, Matteo Moretto reports, but AC Milan are not among them.
The Brazilian talent is yet to play a league game for Real Madrid this season, but mainly due to injury. He went down with a hamstring injury in May that kept him out of the Club World Cup, and then suffered another setback in July.
After scoring seven goals in his debut campaign for Los Blancos, many hoped and believed he would kick on. However, Gonzalo Garcia’s rise has meant he has to fight to even be a deputy, and several clubs are watching Endrick’s situation under coach Xabi Alonso.
Not considered suitable
Matteo Moretto spoke in a YouTube video and he gave a quick update on the future of Endrick, more specifically why Milan should not be considered in the running to land him at present.
“There are clubs in Italy interested in Endrick. I can tell you that, for example, AC Milan isn’t one of them right now, because Milan don’t currently consider Endrick to be a suitable player due to his characteristics. He’s not the type of striker Milan would be looking for,” he said (via MilanNews).
It was outlined during the summer window that Milan were after a more physical striker who is a penalty area presence. This led to links with Dusan Vlahovic, Victor Boniface and others, while there is apparently still an interest in the Serbian that remains.
