Real Madrid have no intention of parting ways with Endrick this summer despite reports linking the Brazilian forward with a move to Inter Milan.
Earlier today, speculation gathered momentum when reports emerged suggesting Inter were exploring a deal for the 19-year-old, potentially involving a loan with an obligation to buy worth between €35 million and €40 million.
However, transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano has now dismissed those reports, insisting there is no truth to the rumours and no ongoing discussions between the parties.
No truth in Inter Milan links
The story initially gained traction after reports claimed Inter Milan had identified Endrick as a priority target and were evaluating possible formulas to bring him to Serie A.
Given the fierce competition for places in Real Madrid’s attack, the rumours inevitably sparked questions about the Brazilian’s future, but according to Romano, there is currently nothing to discuss.

The Italian journalist has stated that there have been no contacts between Inter Milan and Endrick, effectively shutting down the speculation before it could gather further momentum.
More importantly, Real Madrid recently held conversations with the player’s representatives and used those meetings to reaffirm their faith in the youngster while communicating that he will have a prominent role next season.
Understandably, Endrick is considered a player for the future and someone Real Madrid fully expect to continue developing at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid have a plan in place
One of the most significant details from Romano’s update concerns the direct communication between Real Madrid and Endrick’s camp.
It is said that the club officials met with the player’s agents towards the end of May and reiterated that they continue to believe strongly in his potential.

That conversation removed any uncertainty regarding his immediate future.
Rather than discussing possible exits, Real Madrid used the opportunity to reassure the player’s entourage that he remains an important part of their plans moving forward.
Furthermore, another important factor working in Endrick’s favour is the arrival of Jose Mourinho.
As such, the young forward has already spoken with the new Real Madrid manager, which could prove decisive heading into the new season.
Simply put, there seems to be no concrete basis for the Brazilian’s links with Serie A as Real Madrid will be counting on him for next season.
