Liverpool weigh up €65 million summer move for Real Madrid forward – report
Real Madrid’s summer has been a busy one, with the club making no less than six new signings to beef up the squad for the season ahead.
This has perhaps dulled the homecoming for Endrick, who returned to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer after a promising loan spell at Lyon.
Endrick was expected to become a key player for Real Madrid in the new season. But question marks continue to remain over his future at the club.
Liverpool interested in Endrick
And now, according to the British press, as relayed by Mundo Deportivo, Endrick has become a subject of interest for Liverpool.
The report claims the Brazilian is among the forwards Liverpool are considering as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Endrick joins a list that includes Bradley Barcola, Ibrahima Mbaye and Yankuba Minteh, with the English club said to be willing to pay around €65 million for the 20-year-old.
It represents fresh interest in a player whose situation at Real Madrid has become increasingly complicated this summer.
A crowded attack
Endrick’s problem is simple: game time is likely to be extremely hard to come by at the Bernabeu.
With Kylian Mbappe leading the line, the club-record arrival of Yan Diomande and the surprise signing of Carlos Espi, Endrick finds himself well down the pecking order.
Jose Mourinho is understood to still count on him, but the Brazilian appears more likely to slip further behind than to force his way into a regular role.
For now, Endrick remains at Real Madrid, undergoing specific training designed to prevent injuries after a physically disrupted period.
Liverpool are not the only club to have registered interest either. Real Madrid have already rejected enquiries from Italian clubs, while AC Milan have made contact with the player’s camp to explore a loan deal.
Ultimately, a temporary move may suit all parties, allowing Endrick to gain the regular minutes his development requires.
Whether that comes at Liverpool, in Italy, or elsewhere remains to be seen.
Real Madrid will be looking to pick up their fifth win of the 2026/27 La Liga season when they take on Elche CF at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero later tonight.
With 12 points from five games, Los Blancos are currently second in the league table, three points below leaders FC Barcelona.
As such, the Spanish capital club will be eager to get the win and close the gap to the top.
Guler starts, Bellingham rested
Ahead of kickoff, Real Madrid have announced the starting lineup that will take the field against Elche, with Jose Mourinho making some important changes.
For starters, Arda Guler is back in the lineup after appearing as a substitute in the win over Rayo Vallecano.
Interestingly, however, he starts in the attacking midfield role, with Mourinho opting to rest Jude Bellingham, who has started all of Real Madrid’s games so far.
That also means that Yan Diomande retains his place in the team, starting for a second time in a row on the right wing. Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. continue in their respective positions in attack.
Another notable change sees Aurelien Tchouameni make his first start of the season after recovering from injury and making two appearances off the bench.
He replaces Bernardo Silva as Federico Valverde’s partner in the middle of the park.
Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Marc Cucurella come in as full-backs, while Ibrahima Konate and Dean Huijsen slot in at centre-back in front of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
