Roma rival Premier League interest in Real Madrid wonderkid Endrick amid lack of minutes under Carlo Ancelotti

Endrick only arrived at Real Madrid in the summer but has already been linked with a loan exit after struggling for first-team minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu. Premier League strugglers Southampton have been credited with an interest in the Brazilian, while Roma are also ready to ask Los Blancos for a January loan, according to Diario Sport.

Roma have just appointed Claudio Ranieri as manager until the end of the season and are eager to boost a flagging attack. The Italians are on the lookout for young, exciting players and feel Endrick fits the bill perfectly. Yet they may well face competition for his signature, with La Liga side Real Valladolid, now owned by former Real Madrid striker Ronaldo, also in the mix for his signature.

Endrick has managed just 56 minutes of La Liga action so far this season for Real Madrid over eight substitute appearances, with the club also bringing in Kylian Mbappe in the summer.

Carlo Ancelottii has used Endrick sparingly and he's expected to be on the bench again on Sunday when Madrid take on Leganes in La Liga. Fans will have to wait and see if the youngster does look for a move away in January in order to play regularly, but he may not lack for offers if he does seek a temporary switch away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
