Endrick Unveiled at Lyon After Real Madrid Loan With Option to Buy

Real Madrid sees a Ligue 1 stint as a lower-pressure, competitive step for the striker’s growth.

Overview

  • Lyon introduced the 19-year-old at the Groupama OL Training Center and confirmed a six-month loan that includes a purchase option.
  • Endrick said he chose OL to secure regular minutes, referencing family considerations, his faith, and early talks with coach Paulo Fonseca.
  • He said Carlo Ancelotti urged him to play and develop, and he accepted the move with his national team coach’s blessing.
  • Spanish and French outlets report the contract contains an appearance obligation of about 25 matches with financial penalties if unmet, a detail not publicly disclosed by the clubs.
  • After limited game time under Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid, his arrival has energized Lyon supporters and is already seen at the club as a commercial and image boost.
