This could be one of the very big blows of the winter transfer window. Olympique Lyonnais is indeed in the running to welcome Endrick, the little Brazilian nugget, in great difficulty at Real Madrid.
After an encouraging start in Spain, the former Real Madrid player is going through a delicate period. Injured in the thigh this summer, Endrick returned to spend his time on the bench. He absolutely does not fit into the plans of Xabi Alonso, who has not yet offered him a single minute of playing time this season.
The Brazilian international needs a loan to get back on track, and the idea is to join a club that is playing in Europe this season in order to get back into rhythm. Olympique Lyonnais therefore ticks the boxes. And it is Fabrizio Romano, the pope of the transfer window, who confirms this Saturday that Endrick gives his “total priority” to the Rhone club.
Endrick is OK for OL
Discussions are progressing between the player and OL, adds the Italian journalist. And the operation can only be done in the form of a dry loan, without a purchase option, because Real Madrid does not want to let go of the prodigy too quickly. Or in any case, not at a price that would be affordable for Lyon’s finances.
The matter should be resolved fairly quickly, as Fabrizio Romano adds the final decision could be made as early as next week. In any case, Endrick agrees to go to Lyon.
