Overview
- The 19-year-old forward is prioritizing Lyon to secure regular minutes before the 2026 World Cup, according to multiple reports.
- Accounts differ on Madrid’s stance, with some outlets reporting board approval for a January–June loan without a buy option and The Athletic saying no final decision has been made, citing no rush after a teammate’s injury.
- Negotiations center on salary coverage of about €300,000 per month and potential loan compensation, with Lyon’s finances limiting how much it can assume.
- Spanish reports indicate Madrid would rather place the player within LaLiga, noting he is expected to obtain Spanish nationality in roughly six months.
- The push for a move follows scarce minutes at Real Madrid, including just an 11‑minute appearance against Valencia after a long absence, and reports say Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca has spoken directly with the player.
