In-form French side Marseille may come after Real Madrid striker Endrick in January, a new report said. The Brazilian teenager, who decided to stay and fight for his place in Xabi Alonso’s team in the summer, may choose otherwise when the winter window opens, the report added.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of Gabon and Amine Gouiri of Algeria will leave for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), and Marseille will need more firepower. This is said to be the reason behind gaffer Roberto De Zerbi’s reignited interest in the 19-year-old, reports said.

The Brazilian prodigy is more than ready to play in Ligue 1, as it is almost certain that he will have to sit out for the lion’s share of the season under Xabi. However, it was not reported whether the loan deal that Marseille are thinking about will include a buy clause or how Real feel about selling the prodigy permanently.
Meanwhile, Juventus are also tracking Endrick ahead of January, Goal said in a report. West Ham United and PSG were also linked to Endrick in the summer before Real Madrid blocked all moves for him. However, as the striker has changed his mind about remaining at the Spanish capital, it needs to be seen if any of these clubs will join Marseille to get him.
After eight rounds, they lead PSG by a single point in the French top-tier. Mason Greenwood is the second highest goal scorer of the season (6) behind Joaquín Panichelli of Strasbourg (7).
