As the January transfer window approaches, Lyon appears to be at the forefront of efforts to secure a loan deal for Real Madrid‘s promising striker, Endrick. Sources have confirmed that the Ligue 1 club is keen on acquiring the 19-year-old Brazilian, who has yet to make an appearance in LaLiga this season due to a lengthy recovery from injury. Despite his return to fitness, Endrick has found himself sidelined at the Santiago Bernabéu, prompting discussions about a potential move.
Endrick, who joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras in 2022, signed a six-year contract after turning 18 in July 2024. This season, however, he has not seen any game time, leading to speculation about his future. Reports indicate that he is open to a loan move and is eager to gain competitive experience in the Champions League. Nevertheless, he is also willing to consider options with teams like Lyon that are competing in the Europa League.
Loan Terms and Conditions
Sources suggest that if Lyon secures Endrick’s services, they would be obliged to pay a loan fee to Real Madrid and cover his monthly salary of €400,000. The club’s manager, Paulo Fonseca, who speaks Portuguese, could facilitate the transition by creating a comfortable environment for the young forward. Furthermore, it has been reported that Endrick would likely be guaranteed a starting position at Lyon, which could significantly aid his development.
Frustration at Madrid
The frustration surrounding Endrick’s situation intensified during a recent match against Getafe on October 19. After warming up but ultimately not being called upon to play, he visibly expressed his dissatisfaction by kicking a water bottle onto the pitch. This incident was described as “the last straw” for the player, highlighting his desire for more involvement on the field.
Real Madrid had previously considered sending Endrick out on loan as early as July to ensure his growth was not stunted by limited first-team opportunities. However, at that time, he was reluctant to leave the club. With Lyon now leading the charge for his signature, it remains to be seen if this opportunity will provide the platform he needs to shine.
As discussions continue around potential loan deals for young talents across Europe, one question looms large: will Endrick seize this chance to kickstart his career with Lyon and showcase his undeniable talent on a bigger stage?
