- Endrick said Carlo Ancelotti urged him to leave to play regularly and be happy, advice he considered when choosing Lyon.
- He logged just 99 minutes across three appearances under Xabi Alonso this season after featuring more under Ancelotti last year.
- Registration timing means his Lyon debut is expected in the French Cup this weekend, with reports pointing to a January 11 target.
- Lyon executives said he provides a missing attacking element as the club sits fifth in Ligue 1 within two points of the Champions League places, and his arrival drew notable fan enthusiasm.
