Endrick chooses new destination

Lyon emerged as a strong candidate in the race to sign young talent Endrick in January.

Endrick is likely to join Lyon in January 2026.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says Endrick is fully focused on joining Lyon, with talks progressing positively on the player's side. "Endrick has his priorities squarely on Lyon. Talks are going well on the player's side," Romano confirmed.

Notably, the deal is expected to be a pure loan deal, without a buyout clause. Real Madrid still consider Endrick part of their future plans. Letting Endrick go is to create conditions for the player to have more playing opportunities.

Although the final details have not been announced, an official decision is expected to be made in the near future. European media have stressed that Endrick is very interested in the opportunity to play for Lyon, where he can develop and find inspiration to play football again.

With the World Cup approaching, Endrick is desperate for regular playing time to regain the trust of coach Carlo Ancelotti before the final Brazil squad is finalised. This season, Endrick has been completely left out of Xabi Alonso's plans.

Under Ancelotti last season, despite being only 18, Endrick managed to score 7 goals in 840 minutes of play, including 5 in the King's Cup, becoming the team's top scorer in the tournament. That achievement is confirmation that he does not lack ability - just lack opportunity.
