Last transfer window, AS Roma had come to an agreement with the player to loan him out for the season. But Mou had other plans and kept him as a bench-warmer.

It would've been a great opportunity for the Brazilian youngster as Roma are currently sitting at the top of Serie A, playing aesthetic, highly dynamic offensive football. Endrick could have played in a young, dynamic attack alongside Donyell Malen, Paulo Dybala, Matias Soulé and rising star Rodrigo Mora.

Roma could knock at the door again in winter, and they probably will.
