The signings of Espi and Yan Diomande, along with Vinícius Júnior’s new long-term contract, have further reduced the likelihood of regular playing time for Endrick at Real Madrid. As a result, his representatives are said to be exploring another loan move.
The Premier League is understood to be an appealing destination should Madrid opt for a further temporary departure. Tottenham are not alone in monitoring the situation, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Fulham all reported to have made enquiries, making any pursuit highly competitive.
Tottenham may hold one notable advantage, however. The club previously showed interest in Endrick before he opted for Real Madrid, with Spurs’ reluctance to sanction loan deals without a purchase option said to have contributed to that move not materialising. This time, circumstances may differ. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is reportedly still a strong admirer of Endrick, and the club is believed to favour retaining full control over his future — potentially preferring another straight loan without a buy clause, similar to his spell at Lyon. Tottenham are said to be comfortable with such terms, as are Aston Villa and Fulham, placing the three clubs in a stronger position.
By contrast, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are understood to be interested primarily if a purchase option is included — a structure that may not align with Madrid’s preference. This could work in Tottenham’s favour if the Spanish club remain determined to avoid a permanent exit.
For Spurs, such a deal would represent a relatively low-risk route to adding a highly rated young attacking talent to Roberto De Zerbi’s squad. The timing is notable, given De Zerbi has already indicated the club intends to strengthen further and hinted at another significant addition. With Cody Gakpo, Victor Osimhen and other established forwards already linked with Tottenham, Endrick’s emergence adds a further dimension to the club’s attacking plans — even if a loan move would fall short of the marquee permanent signing many supporters anticipate.
The key question remains whether Real Madrid are prepared to let Endrick leave again, and whether Tottenham can persuade him that north London represents the right next step in his development. With the transfer deadline approaching, Spurs are expected to be following developments closely.
