The 20-year-old is reportedly pushing for another loan spell after impressing during his temporary stint at Olympique Lyonnais last season.
Villa’s Champions League football could prove decisive
Aston Villa’s involvement in the Champions League is believed to be one of the factors strengthening their position in the race for Endrick.
Roma can offer the same European platform, having also qualified for the Champions League, while Milan are reportedly further behind in the current competition.
However, regular playing time is expected to remain the most important factor in determining Endrick’s next move.
The Brazilian has attracted considerable interest from Italy, with Roma and Milan both exploring the possibility of bringing him in as a temporary reinforcement.
Roma and Milan still in the picture
Roma have maintained their interest after reportedly making an approach during the summer. There were also reports that a deal had been close before Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho intervened.
Milan are now also pushing for the forward, leaving Endrick with several options if Real Madrid agree to another loan.
