Real Madrid are apparently considering a surprising change of heart over the future of striking prodigy Endrick.

A final plan by the player's representatives

Jose Mourinho has reportedly stepped in to block the summer departure of Real Madrid academy graduate Gonzalo Garcia ahead of the upcoming campaign. The Portuguese manager holds tactical reservations regarding the central suitability of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick, prompting him to evaluate the physical young striker as a genuine option to lead the line.

Roma have rapidly accelerated their summer transfer plans with a highly ambitious swoop for Real Madrid forward Endrick. The Italian club are actively looking to build a formidable new-look attack for Gian Piero Gasperini, hoping to partner the Brazilian youngster with Premier League wingers Crysencio Summerville and Alejandro Garnacho this season.

Brazil's early elimination from the World Cup continues to generate shockwaves in national football, and no one has been more vocal in their dissatisfaction than the legendary Romario. The hero of the fourth World Cup title spared no criticism of Carlo Ancelotti's work and Endrick's lack of accuracy at the crucial moment of the defeat against Norway.
