Endrick Set for Lyon Debut on Short Real Madrid Loan

He calls the six-month spell a reset to earn minutes before Brazil's 2026 World Cup.

Overview

  • The 19-year-old forward is due to make his first competitive appearance for Lyon on Sunday in the French Cup against Lille.
  • He describes the move as "just a break" from Real Madrid, targeting steady game time to rebuild momentum.
  • A muscle injury early this season and limited opportunities under coach Xabi Alonso reduced his minutes at the Bernabeu.
  • Endrick says Carlo Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso urged him to seek regular playing time after his recovery.
  • News reports indicate the loan runs to season’s end with no purchase option, with Lyon covering about half of his wages while the club sits fifth in Ligue 1 and leads its Europa League group.
