Alright, the noise around Arsenal’s striker search just got a whole lot clearer! Endrick, the Brazilian phenom who had everyone buzzing, is officially not part of Arsenal’s current plans. Forget those wild rumors because according to Caught Offside, this young attacker is staying put right where he is.
Endrick Staying Put: No Movement Out of Madrid
This isn’t some vague ‘maybe not’ either. The report is unambiguous: “Arsenal are not working on a deal to sign Endrick , the Brazilian is not a target for Arsenal at all, and the striker is going to stay at Real Madrid.” Talk about shutting down the speculation! For fans watching a crowded forward market, this is huge. Endrick is one of Europe’s most high-profile young talents, but a move to north London? Not even a consideration. Real Madrid has a firm stance on this one, too. Their expectation is “absolutely for Endrick to continue there, the decision has been made by the club, with the management, with the president Florentino Perez.” That means there’s no meaningful opening for any club, Premier League or otherwise. Liverpool even tried three weeks ago to check out the situation, asking about potential deal conditions for a buy or a loan. But Real Madrid’s answer was “very clear , they don’t want Endrick to go.” That kind of clarity slams the door shut on any movement.
Julian Alvarez Is the Real Target Now
So, with Endrick off the table, where does that leave Arsenal? The report states they’re “keep waiting for the Julian Alvarez situation, depending on what the player decides to do.” This isn’t panic, it’s patience. The recruitment team clearly feels confident enough to hold their position while Alvarez’s future gets clearer. It reinforces the idea that Arsenal might be prioritizing other attacking profiles. Alvarez remains central to Arsenal’s plans, and the fact they are “still waiting” suggests the club believes there is at least something worth monitoring there. This feels far more relevant than getting caught up in hype for a player whose current club has zero intention of letting him leave.
From a fan’s perspective, this is smart. Endrick is a massive talent, no doubt, but there is a big difference between admiring a player and believing he is the right move for your squad right now. If Real Madrid has already made their decision, why waste time and energy on a deal that was never truly there? Smart clubs know how to filter signal from noise, and Arsenal needs a forward who can genuinely raise the level, fit Mikel Arteta’s demands, and arrive ready to contribute straight away. Endrick may become world-class, but this specific situation never looked straightforward. All eyes now on Julian Alvarez and what he decides to do next!
