The winter transfer window is almost two months away. But with the Endrick file, we already have a soap opera that fascinates the crowds. It all started last Wednesday when several media, ESPN in the lead, revealed that Olympique Lyonnais is discussing with the Brazilian and Real Madrid the possibility of welcoming him on loan next January. Information that we have confirmed, specifying that the 19-year-old striker gives his priority to Les Gones, who can offer him guarantees regarding his playing time. Which is essential for him a few months before the 2026 World Cup.
We also explained to you that many clubs are interested in Endrick in the major European championships. He also has tracks in Russia, the Middle East, MLS, Brazil and Mexico. But his entourage has already ruled out these options, since the idea is to stay on the Old Continent and play in a European Cup. All this is therefore excellent news for Lyon, which is favored by the Auriverde international. A player who also played his first minutes of the season on Saturday evening during the 4-0 victory against Valencia.
Real Madrid does not yet want to decide for Endrick
Subscribed to the infirmary then to the sidelines (8 matches without coming into play) since the arrival of Xabi Alonso, he came into play in place of Kylian MbappĂ©, for 11 minutes. His last appearance was 167 days ago. This is therefore good news for the player, who was having a very difficult time with his situation and was champing at the bit. Especially since Gonzalo Garcia had passed him in the hierarchy of attackers. His entry into play is therefore a good thing for Endrick, who does not rule out the possibility of remaining in the Spanish capital if his situation were to change. Real Madrid, who have ultimately heard little about the rumors of the Brazilian’s departure, have the cards in their hands. The latest reports from the Spanish press revealed that the Merengues preferred a La Liga loan for Endrick, who will have Spanish nationality in 6 months.
In addition, it has been said that the Merengues do not want to sell him and possibly want a loan with partial salary coverage. This Monday, The Athletic made new revelations. Under the pens of journalists specializing in the Merengue club Guillermo Rai and Mario Cortegana, the media renowned for its seriousness explains that “Real Madrid does not yet wish to make a final decision with Endrick”. The Spanish team, which will decide with Xabi Alonso, believes it has spent a lot of money on the Brazilian. It was purchased for €35 million, to which must be added a €25 million bonus. Real Madrid have already paid half of it, or €12.5 million. A significant investment in an emerging talent. The Madrilenians are therefore still considering the best option, even though certain media announced this weekend that a decision would be made during the week for Endrick. Real Madrid visibly calms everyone and waits to see how the player’s situation will develop. Continued in the next episode…
