Real Madrid youngster wanted by La Liga rivals in a deal worth €6 million
According to Spanish publication AS (h/t Madrid Xtra), Girona want to sign Real Madrid midfielder Sergio Arribas in an attempt to revamp their squad for the 2023-24 season.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder put on a scintillating display in the season that just ended, scoring 19 goals for the subsidiary team in the Primera Division.
As a result, several top teams are now keeping tabs on his progress and considering the competition at Real Madrid, at least a loan move is highly expected.
Given the names ahead of him in the pecking order, Arribas will have difficulties getting into the first team anytime in the near future. Hence, Real Madrid would be open to a departure.
For that matter, Madrid are once again willing to do business with Girona. It must be remembered that the two teams indulged in negotiation for Miguel Gutierrez in the summer of 2022.
The 21-year-old full-back was sold to Girona for €4 million with Madrid retaining 50% of his rights and the first-refusal option.
The parties involved are looking to strike a similar deal, this time involving Arribas for around €6 million.
Meanwhile, it must be noted that Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund are also chasing the midfielder.
As reported before, the German team were initially offered the chance to sign the midfielder on a two-year loan stint as part of the Jude Bellingham deal but they did not want any integration in that negotiation.
As of today, it is said that Dortmund are working on a proposal involving a €2 million loan fee, but nothing is concrete. Borussia Dortmund would, of course, be a bigger stage but at Girona, Arribas will get to be an unassailable starter which could be a decisive factor in the deal.
Real Madrid youngster Endrick continues to attract interest from several clubs ahead of another potential loan move in the upcoming January transfer window.
The latest side considering a move for the Brazilian forward is Aston Villa.
Indeed, according to reports relayed by Bernabeu Digital, the Premier League club are interested in signing the Real Madrid striker on loan in January.
No minutes for Endrick
Endrick has had very limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season. Across Real Madrid’s nine matches in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, the Brazilian has played just four minutes, coming on in the 86th minute against Elche.
Such limited playing time has left the young forward struggling to gain the minutes and experience needed to develop his talent at Real Madrid.
As such, another loan move, like last January when he left for Olympique Lyon, could offer him a chance to play more regularly and continue his progression.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, have now emerged as an interested party to acquire the Brazilian international’s services on loan for the second half of the season.
AC Milan also interested in Endrick
Howver, Aston Villa are not the only club monitoring Endrick’s situation. AC Milan have also renewed their interest in the Brazilian forward.
The Rossoneri already held an interest in the 20-year-old forward during the summer transfer window and are knocking on the doors once again now.
In fact, some reports in Italy even go on to suggest that the youngster is ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign for the Serie A giants.
For now, however, there have been no concrete developments or formal approaches from any interested club.
Real Madrid are understood to be open to allowing Endrick to leave on loan, but they are not considering a permanent sale as they still have a lot of faith in the promising attacker whom they signed from Palmeiras.
With Aston Villa and AC Milan both interested, the coming months could prove important in determining where the young Brazilian will continue his development.
