Roma chase fee‑free Endrick loan to fill Gasperini’s fire‑power void

Facing a shortage of firepower, AS Roma are moving to secure a fee‑free dry loan of 2006‑born Brazilian striker Endrick from Real Madrid, hoping the Roman side can plug the gaps in Gian Piero Gasperini’s attack without paying a transfer fee. The club sees the loan as a swift remedy to an attacking deficiency that has hampered recent performances.

Roma are eager to reinforce their forward line as they evaluate several attacking options, acknowledging that depth in the striker position is currently lacking. The urgency stems from a clear need to add quality ahead of the upcoming fixtures.

The proposed arrangement is a dry loan, meaning no purchase option is attached, and it comes at no cost to the Italian club. This fee‑free approach aligns with Roma’s strategy of strengthening the squad while managing expenses. Adding the Brazilian talent could provide the firepower needed to improve the team’s attacking output.

According to today’s edition of Leggo, Roma have formally asked Real Madrid for the loan. The request underscores the club’s proactive stance in the transfer market and its determination to act quickly.

Roma believe Endrick will struggle for playing time at Real Madrid because of intense competition for places. A temporary move to the capital therefore appears attractive for both the player and the Italian side, while the Spanish giants could benefit by allowing the youngster to gain regular minutes elsewhere.

Interest in Endrick emerged yesterday, prompting the Roman side to act swiftly. The rapid response highlights Roma’s urgency to secure a forward who can deliver immediate impact for Gasperini, and the club now awaits Real Madrid’s response to determine how the shortage will be addressed.
