According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma are seriously pursuing Real Madrid forward Endrick in the January transfer window, with sporting director Daniele De Rossi already working on the deal. Roma hope to sign the Brazilian forward on loan with an option to buy, and the player and his father are both positive about joining Roma.

The report states that Roma's interest in Endrick is not new. The club began working on the deal last summer and has already secured the approval of the player and his father. Endrick even told friends a few weeks ago that joining Roma, where his Brazilian compatriot Lucas Digne plays, was "a very real possibility."

For De Rossi, Endrick has become one of Roma's priority targets for the January transfer window. The club believes he can add strength, talent, and future potential to their front line.

Endrick's current situation at Real Madrid is also a significant reason why a transfer might materialize. Since the start of the season, the 20-year-old Brazilian forward has only played 4 minutes in the league, far less than he had anticipated.

Ancelotti previously spoke about the development of young Brazilian players, saying: "The problem with young Brazilian players is that they can't improve because they don't get to play. They join big clubs at 18 but don't get playing time. If they don't play, they can't continue to grow."

Corriere dello Sport believes these words accurately reflect Endrick's current situation. Real Madrid is increasingly inclined to consider loaning him out again to prevent his talent and market value from being affected by an extended period without playing time. Meanwhile, Endrick recently represented Brazil in two matches against Australia, regaining some confidence and the feeling of being an important player for the team.

Last season, Endrick was loaned to Lyon, where he received relatively consistent playing time and was ultimately successfully included in Brazil's Copa América squad. His father previously stated: "He found happiness again in France; Real Madrid deprived him of playing opportunities."

Therefore, Endrick's family hopes he can continue to get consistent playing time, develop through matches, and once again become an important player. Roma believes it can provide him with such an environment.

In addition to Roma, Milan has also taken concrete steps and made contact with Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez. Milan has long maintained a good relationship with Real Madrid and Florentino. However, Roma has been working on Endrick for a longer time and has already secured the player's approval.

Although there is still some time until the January transfer window, Roma is not relenting in their pursuit of Endrick. De Rossi is maintaining communication and preparing for possible accelerated negotiations.

It is worth noting that in two weeks, Real Madrid will visit Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. Corriere dello Sport believes that Endrick's future may once again become a topic of discussion between the two sides at that time.
