Arsenal have revived their interest in Endrick as they step up plans to reshape their attack before the transfer deadline, with TeamTalk reporting fresh enquiries for the Real Madrid forward after Gabriel Martinelli’s departure to Al-Hilal.
The situation is moving on several fronts. Arsenal are understood to be in the market for left-sided attacking reinforcements, and Endrick has re-emerged as a live possibility. The Brazilian has long been admired across Europe, but this latest contact appears to be driven by a clear squad need rather than background interest alone.
There is an added layer here because Arsenal had already opened discussions with Real Madrid earlier in the summer while sounding out a separate high-profile deal for Vinicius Junior. During those conversations, the north London club also explored the availability of Endrick and Arda Guler. Since then, Vinicius has signed a new contract and Guler has started both opening matches under Jose Mourinho, leaving Endrick’s position under sharper focus.

He had tons and tons of inquiries from clubs that wanted him, whether to loan him out or to sell him, but I didn’t want to.” He added: “It’s already decided, I’m not going to loan him out or sell him, because I like working with this young player, who has talents that are very important for the games.”

Even so, there appears to be some uncertainty behind the scenes. According to the report, “those close to the Brazilian do not see how he will play a major role under Mourinho, despite the head coach’s public backing of the youngster.” That is a significant detail, particularly as Real have continued to recruit aggressively in attacking areas.
The arrivals of Yan Diomande and Carlos Espi point to a club investing heavily in its next wave of talent, and competition for minutes…
