Arsenal are reportedly in talks to secure Brazilian striker Endrick from Real Madrid during the January transfer window, with sources saying the club has opened direct contact as the summer window closes.
Arsenal are said to be preparing a bid for Real Madrid forward Endrick in the upcoming January transfer window. A Yahoo Sports report published on September 19, 2026 noted that the Gunners may move for the Brazilian striker as early as the mid‑season window, highlighting the club’s growing interest in the player (source [1]).
Further details emerged in a second Yahoo Sports article the same day, which described Arsenal’s scouting team as actively monitoring Endrick’s situation and exploring possible pathways for a deal with Real Madrid (source [2]). The report indicated that Arsenal have already initiated direct contact with the Spanish club, seeking to gauge Real Madrid’s willingness to negotiate.
TeamTalk, citing sources 22 hours ago, confirmed that Arsenal are in dialogue with both Real Madrid and Endrick’s representatives, suggesting that formal discussions could commence shortly after the summer window closes (source [7]). EPL Index also reported that Arsenal’s interest has intensified as Real Madrid’s own negotiations with the player progress, positioning the English side as a potential suitor if a January move materialises (source [6]).
Endrick, a Brazilian international who has broken into Real Madrid’s senior squad, remains one of the most coveted young talents in Europe. While no financial terms have been disclosed, analysts note that any January offer would need to align with Real Madrid’s valuation of the player and the club’s broader transfer strategy.
If Arsenal succeed, the signing would represent a significant addition to their attacking options ahead of the second half of the 2026‑27 season. The club’s hierarchy has not commented publicly, and the situation will likely evolve as both clubs assess their priorities in the coming weeks.
