Endrick could leave Real Madrid on loan in January, with Roma and Milan interested

Roma are monitoring Monza midfielder Manga Foe-Ondoa as they look to add reinforcements in midfield ahead of the January transfer window, according to market expert Ekrem Konur on X. The French midfielder, born in 2005, could also attract interest from Lazio, which would set up a transfer derby between the two Rome clubs. Roma's sporting director Tony D'Amico is seeking new signings to widen the options available to Gian Piero Gasperini. Foe-Ondoa is not yet a Roma player, and the interest described is exploratory, with no offers or concrete negotiations so far. Lazio are also said to have looked at the midfielder. Foe-Ondoa joined Monza last summer from Estoril Praia and is carving out a place in the side coached by Ivan Juric. He has made seven Serie A appearances, five of them as a starter, and has provided one assist so far this season. The Frenchman can play several roles in midfield, and is described as physically strong, dynamic and good at winning back possession. He is under contract at Monza until June 2030 and is regarded as a player with promising room to improve. With January approaching, his name could become one to watch closely.

Arsenal have reportedly made a firm move for Endrick, with the Gunners keeping contact with the Brazilian's entourage and ready to open negotiations with Real Madrid, according to TEAMtalk. Milan are also following the situation closely. Roma are watching from the sidelines, ready to seize an opportunity should one arise, and the club are among the options if the forward leaves Madrid. The 19-year-old had come close to joining Roma last summer, but Mourinho's refusal blocked the deal. The forward reportedly wants more playing time and is considering leaving Madrid as soon as January. Should he genuinely want to go, Mourinho would not stand in his way. For Roma, the picture could change quickly, and the club's interest is strong enough to keep them in the race if a winter move becomes possible. Endrick's future will be decided by the next ten matches: if he finds regular minutes he will stay in Madrid, but if not, new scenarios could open up. Among those possibilities, according to the report, is Roma under Gasperini.

Roma sporting director D'Amico is looking beyond the next window, with an eye on young players who could become stars. One name on his list is Oliver Mansson, a 17-year-old Swedish midfielder born in 2009 who is already regarded in Sweden as a possible 'crack'. According to Swedish newspaper Expressen, Roma sent scouts to watch him in the most recent match between his current club Göteborg and Djurgården. He is not the only target: United, Chelsea and Arsenal are also reportedly interested. The report places Mansson within a wider strategy. D'Amico is studying both ready-made profiles and the youth market, the area that has been serving Roma so well this season. Alongside young prospects, his notebook reportedly contains bigger names, including Lisandro Martinez and Endrick. Roma are watching closely while the competition for Mansson grows. The Italian coverage describes D'Amico as clear about how he intends to operate in the coming sessions, balancing established targets with players who are outside the ordinary and could develop into the stars of tomorrow.
