In just four months, Endrick is turning everything upside down. Both at Olympique Lyonnais, where the striker silenced the critics by being involved in his team’s two goals against Lorient this Sunday (2-0) after being relegated to the bench by Paulo Fonseca, and at Real Madrid.
Loaned to OL until next June, the Brazilian should not continue his adventure in France and thus return to Spain.
“The decision is made: he will return to Real Madrid at the end of the season”assured his agent, Thiago Freitas, last February.
In this logic, the Madrid club is already starting to prepare the return of its 19-year-old nugget – recruited for 47.5 million euros from Palmeiras in July 2024 – and would have taken a major decision in order to best prepare for his reintegration into the workforce. Much to the dismay of another attacker.
Real Madrid wants to bet on Endrick
As explained The Athleticthe arrival of Endrick should cause a departure: that of Gonzalo Garcia. Revealed during the Club World Cup last summer, the young 22-year-old center forward is no longer part of the club’s plans for next season.
Despite an extension until June 30, 2030 signed at the end of the World Cup, the Spaniard with 6 goals and 2 assists in 33 matches should be sold by his management. The idea would still be to introduce a buyout clause in his contract, like what was done previously with Nico Paz in particular, in order not to part with the player definitively either.
