According to Marca, legendary Italian coach Capello analyzed potential winter transfer movements in La Gazzetta dello Sport and put forward the view that Endrick could replicate Nico Paz's success at Como if he joined Roma.
Capello, who has coached Roma, Milan, and Real Madrid, carries significant weight with his opinions. It is no coincidence that he compared Endrick to Nico Paz. Nico Paz came through the Real Madrid youth academy, and after joining Como, coached by Fàbregas, his level significantly improved. He has become one of the most influential players in Serie A and is an example of a young Real Madrid talent finding an ideal stage after leaving the Bernabéu.
Capello believes Endrick could follow a similar path. The Brazilian forward is still looking for consistent playing time at Real Madrid and is, in Capello's eyes, the most suitable candidate for Gasperini's Roma. This is not only due to his ability but also because of the endorsement of being chosen by Real Madrid.
Capello stated: "He is young, comes from Real Madrid, and is very strong. I know Real Madrid's youth academy and how they select players..." He then added, using Nico Paz as an example: "We have already seen how he can change a game in Serie A."
Capello's remarks come as speculation heats up regarding the future of young talents associated with Real Madrid. Como is already concerned that Real Madrid might re-sign Nico Paz, while Roma is seen as one of the potential destinations that could provide Endrick with the necessary playing time to accelerate his development.
