Roma are exploring a move for Brazilian forward Endrick, who is viewed by Gian Piero Gasperini as an ideal option to play behind Donyell Malen or Castro. The player is reportedly keen to prove himself at Real Madrid, while the Spanish club would consider only another loan, potentially with an option or a structure that preserves its control over him. Roma are assessing whether Endrick would accept a move to Italy, and his salary of approximately €5 million gross per season, including bonuses, is considered compatible with the club’s parameters. The interest comes as Gasperini calls for further reinforcements to complete Roma’s squad ahead of the new season and Champions League campaign.

AC Milan is searching for a left-footed right attacking midfielder or winger to fit Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system after Konstantinos Karetsas chose Borussia Dortmund. Matias Soulé is presented as the most accessible option, with Roma valuing him at about €35 million and the player reportedly open to Milan. Franco Mastantuono and Arsenal prospect Ethan Nwaneri are attractive but complicated by their clubs’ desire to retain control. Amorim’s preferred target is Manchester United’s Amad Diallo, although United is unlikely to sell. Brahim Diaz is a less concrete possibility but could become viable if Real Madrid makes him available.
