Real Madrid’s summer has been a busy one, with the club making no less than six new signings to beef up the squad for the season ahead.
This has perhaps dulled the homecoming for Endrick, who returned to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer after a promising loan spell at Lyon.
Endrick was expected to become a key player for Real Madrid in the new season. But question marks continue to remain over his future at the club.
Liverpool interested in Endrick
And now, according to the British press, as relayed byMundo Deportivo, Endrick has become a subject of interest for Liverpool.

The report claims the Brazilian is among the forwards Liverpool are considering as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Endrick joins a list that includes Bradley Barcola, Ibrahima Mbaye and Yankuba Minteh, with the English club said to be willing to pay around €65 million for the 20-year-old.
It represents fresh interest in a player whose situation at Real Madrid has become increasingly complicated this summer.
A crowded attack
Endrick’s problem is simple: game time is likely to be extremely hard to come by at the Bernabeu.
With Kylian Mbappe leading the line, the club-record arrival of Yan Diomande and the surprise signing of Carlos Espi, Endrick finds himself well down the pecking order.

Jose Mourinho is understood to still count on him, but the Brazilian appears more likely to slip further behind than to force his way into a regular role.
For now, Endrick remains at Real Madrid, undergoing specific training designed to prevent injuries after a physically disrupted period.
Liverpool are not the only club to have registered interest either. Real Madrid have already rejected enquiries from Italian clubs, while AC Milan have made contact with the player’s camp to explore a loan deal.
Ultimately, a temporary move may suit all parties, allowing Endrick to gain the regular minutes his development requires.
Whether that comes at Liverpool, in Italy, or elsewhere remains to be seen.
