Serie A side Roma look set to join the race to offer Real Madrid wonderkid Endrick a new challenge in the January transfer window. Endrick only arrived at Real Madrid in the summer but has already been linked with a loan exit after struggling for first-team minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu. Premier League strugglers Southampton have been credited with an interest in the Brazilian, while Roma are also ready to ask Los Blancos for a January loan, according to Diario Sport.
Roma have just appointed Claudio Ranieri as manager until the end of the season and are eager to boost a flagging attack. The Italians are on the lookout for young, exciting players and feel Endrick fits the bill perfectly. Yet they may well face competition for his signature, with La Liga side Real Valladolid, now owned by former Real Madrid striker Ronaldo, also in the mix for his signature.
