Overview
- The 19-year-old, on loan from Real Madrid, hit his first career hat-trick in a 5-2 win at Metz, giving him four goals and one assist in three Lyon appearances.
- Endrick left Madrid in January after scarce playing time — about 99 minutes this season — with Carlo Ancelotti encouraging the move to secure regular minutes.
- Head coach Paulo Fonseca has asked Lyon’s board to open talks with Real Madrid to extend the loan beyond this season, according to ESPN Brasil reporting.
- Real Madrid consider Endrick part of their long-term project and are not looking to sell, per Fabrizio Romano, and a recall clause expired on Jan. 20 so he will finish the season in France.
- Separate reports link Chelsea with interest and a potential €70–80m bid, but those claims remain speculative with no confirmed offer or agreement.
