Aston Villa meet conditions to sign Endrick as Jose Mourinho sanctions Real Madrid exit

Endrick's immediate future at Real Madrid is up in the air as Aston Villa watch on closely.

The Brazilian's game time with the La Liga side is looking to be limited due to the acquisition of Carlos Espi.

Endrick is viewed as a centre-forward and would be competing with the aforementioned Spaniard as well as Kylian Mbappe.

A move for the Real Madrid ace would be an ambitious coup, even if only on a straight loan.

Links have been emerging over the last few days, with the Villa Park side among those mentioned for a deal of that structure.

And it has been shared there are two things Endrick wants in place before sealing any exit from Real Madrid for this season.

How Aston Villa can land Endrick loan deal

Aston Villa have been exploring the chance of taking Endrick on loan, as per Fabrizio Romano.

And it seems they would be a suitable destination for the South American wonderkid.

According to Spanish outlet, AS, should Endrick depart on loan, he has two conditions that need to be met.

He wants to be competing in Europe, with his preference being the Champions League.

Meanwhile, he also wants a guaranteed starting position at striker in the upcoming season.

Two conditions that the report shares Aston Villa do meet ahead of any potential move.

Additionally, manager Jose Mourinho is open to allowing Endrick to depart on loan, with it said that he is leaving that decision up to the player himself.

Would Aston Villa guarantee Endrick minutes at striker?

With the claim that Aston Villa would be able to provide guaranteed minutes to Endrick in a starting striker role, is that really the case?

Ollie Watkins is still at Aston Villa and is the current primary striker.

This follows a strong pursuit from Fenerbahce to sign Watkins this summer, which has seemingly ended.

Additionally, with Brian Madjo now eligble to play following his successful CAS appeal, Unai Emery's options have grown.

The Spaniard, though, did utilise two strikers up front in the most recent friendly versus Bayern Munich, and it remains to be seen if that was a decision based on his options or signs to a more long-term idea.

If so, that could see Endrick come in to partner Watkins rather than compete with him, while Madjo continues to develop with potential appearances off the bench.

That would also leave the future of Tammy Abraham in the air, but Villa do look to have a way of accomodating Endrick while keeping Watkins up top.
