Transfer Rumours: Aston Villa eye Endrick loan move

Aston Villa have enquired about taking Real Madrid forward Endrick on loan. The Brazilian, who impressed during a loan spell at Lyon last season, could leave Madrid temporarily to gain Premier League experience. Manchester City are reluctant to sell Rodri, but with one year remaining on his contract, a significant offer and the player's potential desire to leave could change the situation. Barcelona have had an initial bid rejected but are preparing a follow-up. One proposal involves including Frenkie de Jong in the deal, though this remains speculative. Barcelona's Ferran Torres has reportedly informed Paris Saint-Germain of his willingness to join the club, though no agreement between the two sides has been reached. Everton and Crystal Palace have held discussions regarding a potential swap deal for wingers Dwight McNeil and Brennan Johnson, as both players have struggled for regular starting roles. McNeil nearly joined Palace in January, but the collapse of those talks at the final hour caused significant frustration for the player and his family. Ipswich Town have submitted a bid for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Exequiel Palacios and are awaiting a response, though they face competition from other clubs. Chelsea have agreed to loan Filip Jorgensen to their sister club, Strasbourg, following lengthy negotiations. There is also speculation that Jamie Gittens could be loaned to Roma to free up space in the Chelsea squad. Following the departure of Bruno Guimarães, Newcastle are looking to reshape their midfield. They are interested in Bayern Munich target João Palhinha and former Tottenham player Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. Palhinha is also on Aston Villa's radar, with the club having already contacted the German champions. Manchester United are planning a move for 18-year-old Leicester City prospect Louis Page, who is reportedly ready to step up from League One. Meanwhile, Shea Charles's £30 million move from Southampton to Fulham is nearing completion.
