Real Madrid is reportedly close to finalizing a loan move that would see 19-year-old forward Endrick join French side Olympique Lyonnais for the remainder of the season.
The Brazilian star has struggled for minutes this campaign, registering only 14 minutes on the pitch despite scoring seven goals in his debut season after arriving from Palmeiras in summer 2024. Manager Xabi Alonso has used him sparingly, prompting the decision to seek regular first-team football elsewhere.
The move is motivated by Endrick’s desire to regain a place in the Brazilian national team ahead of the upcoming World Cup. Regular playing time in Ligue 1 is seen as critical for maintaining form and match readiness. Sources close to the player have emphasized that a January loan is “key to more first-team minutes” and to preserving his sharpness for international duty.
For Real Madrid, the loan offers a chance for the young talent to develop in a competitive European league while allowing the club to monitor his progress without the immediate pressure of performing at the Bernabéu. The temporary move to Lyon will run until the end of the season and is expected to give Endrick consistent minutes to hone his skills and confidence.
Fans are now awaiting official confirmation, eager to see the Brazilian prodigy flourish with regular football in France.
