Overview
- Both clubs have confirmed a short-term loan running through June 30, 2026, with Endrick due to return to Real Madrid afterward.
- Reporting from multiple outlets indicates Lyon will pay around €1 million as a loan fee and split the striker’s wages roughly 50-50 with Madrid.
- Endrick will join Lyon’s squad on December 29, the move will be formalized when the window opens on January 1, and French registration rules are expected to keep him out of the January 3 match at Monaco.
- Lyon unveiled him as their new No. 9 as the club seeks a centre-forward for Ligue 1 and Europa League minutes following recent departures.
- After scarce game time under Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid, the loan is framed as a developmental step, and reports of a minimum-appearance clause exist but remain inconsistently detailed and unconfirmed.
