Endrick to Juventus: Xabi Alonso accepts the striker's departure with a 'but'

After confirming qualification for the Champions League, Juventus are confident they will secure Endrick's loan

Juventus may have started talks with Real Madrid to request Endrick's loan. The young Brazilian forward has also attracted interest from several LaLiga and Bundesliga clubs. However, Xabi Alonso would only be willing to approve his departure if Real Madrid brings in a new center forward who can provide rotation and give Kylian Mbappé some rest.

"Endrick has offers from many clubs in Europe to go out on loan. There's an entity that's repeatedly knocking on Real Madrid's door to take him on loan, since the club doesn't want to sell him, and that's Juventus," explained Eduardo Inda.

The well-known journalist, director of "OK Diario," attended Chiringuito de Jugones once again on a Monday to talk about the latest news regarding Madridists.

Juventus considers the Endrick option

Endrick's future could be far from Real Madrid, at least in the short term. In his first year in Europe, the young forward has shown flashes of his enormous talent, but he hasn't had the necessary playing time. This situation has sparked the interest of several clubs, both from LaLiga and abroad.

Nevertheless, the team that's pushed hardest for his loan in recent weeks is Juventus of Turin. In addition, the Italian club will be back in the Champions League, so Endrick would play in the top European competition. The Italian side is looking for a forward with the Brazilian's characteristics to replace the possible departure of Dusan Vlahovic.

Real Madrid would loan him out as long as he gets playing time

This season, Juventus has had Kolo Muani and Milik in their attack, both performing well below expectations. Faced with this situation, the Turin side has set their sights on Endrick, aware that the young Brazilian needs continuity.

Real Madrid has positive precedents when loaning young talents to Juventus. The most memorable case is Álvaro Morata, who left for Turin in search of playing time and experience. During his two seasons with the Vecchia Signora, the Spanish forward grew remarkably.

In fact, when Morata returned to Santiago Bernabéu, he was a much more complete and mature player, capable of competing at the highest level. That example reinforces the idea that a well-managed loan can be key to Endrick's development.
