Bombshell 😱: Endrick has just revealed why he will NOT join Aston Villa — this is what he said.

Endrick has reportedly been advised to reject a potential loan move to Aston Villa and instead consider a switch to Roma this summer.

talkSPORT understands Villa are exploring the possibility of bringing the Real Madrid youngster to Villa Park, with the Brazilian having struggled to establish himself since arriving in Spain in 2024.

The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Lyon, where he impressed with eight goals and eight assists in 21 appearances before returning to Madrid this summer.

However, the arrival of Yan Diomande could make regular first-team opportunities even harder to find, increasing the likelihood of another temporary move.

Villa are interested as they look to strengthen their attack ahead of their Champions League campaign, although Roma are also monitoring the situation.

European football expert Andy Brassell believes Italy would be the better destination for Endrick’s development.

Asked if Villa could be an option, he told talkSPORT: “It could be, it shouldn’t be. I’m not sure it’s in his best interests at this point in time.

“Of course he was loaned to Lyon in Ligue 1 for the second half of last season. And he did pretty well. I think it’s easy to look at it from a distance and say he did really well. Pretty well is the truth. He had some really good bits, he had some difficult bits.”

Brassell continued: “He’s got everything to be a superstar.

He believes Roma would offer Endrick more regular football while allowing him to develop in a league better suited to his long-term future at Real Madrid.
