Arsenal are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Endrick from Real Madrid as they prepare for a potential reshuffle in attack this summer. The Premier League champions could lose Gabriel Martinelli to a move to Saudi Arabia, leaving Mikel Arteta with fewer options in the forward positions. With the club looking to maintain its attacking strength ahead of another demanding season, Endrick has emerged as a potential replacement for the Brazilian winger.

The young Brazilian has attracted Arsenal’s attention because of his versatility and considerable potential. Although Endrick has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at Real Madrid, his performances during a loan spell at Lyon last season reportedly strengthened his reputation. Arteta is believed to appreciate the forward’s ability to operate both through the middle and from wider positions, making him an attractive option for an Arsenal attack that could require greater depth.

Arsenal could also attempt to take advantage of Endrick’s uncertain position at Real Madrid. The 19-year-old is currently behind several established attacking options in the pecking order, with Kylian Mbappe and Carlos Espi reportedly preferred as the main forwards. Arsenal could offer Endrick a more prominent role and significantly more playing time, potentially giving him the opportunity to develop into a key player under Arteta rather than continuing to compete for limited minutes in Madrid.

However, a move is unlikely to be straightforward. Real Madrid are understood to remain reluctant to part with the highly rated forward, particularly with manager Jose Mourinho considering him an important part of the squad. That stance could force Arsenal to explore alternative approaches, including a loan arrangement or a permanent transfer if Madrid eventually become open to negotiations. For now, Endrick’s future remains uncertain, but Arsenal’s interest reflects their desire to find a versatile attacking option should Martinelli complete his expected departure.
