Arsenal are said to be preparing a summer move for 18-year-old Brazilian sensation Endrick, with a deal potentially worth around €60 million.

Arsenal is reportedly preparing a €60 million bid for Real Madrid’s young Brazilian striker Endrick, according to Fichajes. The 18-year-old prodigy has caught the attention of several top European clubs, but Arsenal seems to be leading the race to secure his signature.

Endrick joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras last summer for a fee of €47.5 million. Despite his impressive performances in youth football and his early impact in senior competitions, including scoring on his Champions League and La Liga debuts, Endrick has struggled to secure regular playing time at Real Madrid. He has made just 23 appearances across all competitions, accumulating only around 400 minutes of game time.

The lack of consistent game time has led to interest from Arsenal, who are in the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window. With Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus struggling to remain productive and both currently injured, Endrick could be the solution to Arsenal’s attacking woes.

Mikel Arteta’s side sees Endrick as a valuable asset for both the present and future, and the young forward is likely to be enticed by the prospect of more regular playing time at the Emirates. Arsenal’s interest in Endrick is understandable given his potential and the club’s ambition to compete for major honors.

However, convincing Real Madrid to part ways with the talented youngster will be a challenge. Endrick is contracted at Santiago Bernabeu until 2030, and Real Madrid will be reluctant to let him go easily. A loan deal might be a more feasible option for Arsenal, but the Gunners are determined to secure his services permanently.

Endrick’s versatility across the front line makes him an attractive prospect for Arsenal. While he primarily plays as a striker, his ability to adapt to different positions could provide Arteta with more tactical flexibility. If Endrick continues on his current trajectory, he could become a key player for Arsenal and help the club achieve its goals.
