Is Endrick on Galatasaray's Extensive Transfer List? Roma Also Interested in Loan

Galatasaray Claim: Information From a Single Source

According to information shared by journalist İlhan Tüysüz during a YouTube broadcast with journalist Ömer Faruk Özcan, Real Madrid's young striker Endrick is on Galatasaray's extended transfer list. However, it's worth noting this information currently comes from a single source and remains unconfirmed — the claim has not been verified officially.

Roma Interest Being Discussed in Italy

The 19-year-old Brazilian striker spent the 2025/26 season on loan from Real Madrid at Olympique Lyonnais. In Italy, meanwhile, reports suggest Roma are interested in taking the player on loan once again.

His Season at Lyon: Topping the League in Creativity

Endrick made 21 appearances in Ligue 1 last season, playing 1402 minutes (76% starting rate). The young player scored 6 goals and provided 7 assists against an xG of 5.95 — showing his goal output was close to expectation. His average rating of 6.91 placed him in the top 22% for his position.

His recent form has been remarkably consistent, with standout ratings of 8.1 against both PSG and Rennes.

Among Ligue 1 strikers, Endrick's most striking numbers come on the creative side: he ranks #1 in big chances created (0.72 per 90), #1 in successful dribbles (2.52 per 90), #1 in total crosses (4.04 per 90), and #1 in shots on target (1.83 per 90). He also ranks #2 in key passes (2.35 per 90), confirming he's one of the league's most productive players in this category.

By contrast, he ranked more moderately in direct finishing categories like goals (#19) and xG (#21) — suggesting a profile less like a classic striker and more like a creativity-focused forward who cuts in from the wings. This is confirmed by the positions he's actually played: right wing, right midfield, and striker.

His World Cup Performance

Playing for Brazil at the World Cup, Endrick made 4 appearances without starting a single one, totaling just 110 minutes on the pitch. He registered no goal or assist contribution, though he did generate 0.46 xG. His average rating was 6.49 — appearing for limited spells against Haiti, Scotland, Japan, and Norway.

Overall Assessment

The numbers show Endrick ranked among the league's best in creativity and dribbling during his loan season at Lyon. However, his limited playing time for the national team at the World Cup also seems to reflect his current standing at Real Madrid — which may help explain why clubs like both Galatasaray and Roma are showing interest.

Conclusion

The link between Endrick and Galatasaray is currently based on a single, unconfirmed source. Roma's interest in Italy is being discussed as a separate development. The player's strong creative numbers at Lyon help explain why he has become such a sought-after name in this transfer window.

Note: The Galatasaray claim is currently based on a single source (journalist İlhan Tüysüz, shared during a YouTube broadcast with Ömer Faruk Özcan) and has not been officially confirmed.
