AdminAston Villa’s hopes of signing Real Madrid youngster Endrick appear to have suffered a setback after comments from the head of the agency representing the Brazilian forward.
The 19-year-old joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras in 2024 on a six-year contract and made an immediate impression, scoring on his debut in August.
However, after a promising first season, he spent last term on loan at Lyon and has managed just four minutes of action in the current campaign.
His uncertain situation has sparked speculation over a possible January move, with Villa among the clubs reportedly interested in securing his services on loan.
However, Alan Redmond, Head of Football at Roc Nation, has suggested the forward intends to remain at the Bernabeu.
Speaking to Italian news agency AdnKronos, Redmond said: “The financial aspect isn’t important; the player evaluates the club’s project.
We’re talking about a player with the qualities to be at Real Madrid; he just needs opportunities.
“Endrick came from a loan spell at Lyon and played very well in France, then he had some problems, and I think it was also quite frustrating for him not to be at his best physically.
“However, the idea has always been to stay in Madrid. We’ll see what happens in the future, but honestly, I think he’ll stay at Real Madrid for a long time. That’s my opinion.
Endrick scored eight goals and provided seven assists during his loan spell at Lyon, but Villa may now have to explore alternative attacking options as they assess their January transfer plans.
“I don’t think he’ll move. The clubs mentioned are fantastic, but I don’t think he’ll go play anywhere else.”
