The announcement was expected, here it is official. Established this Sunday evening with Olympique Lyonnais on the final day of Ligue 1, Endrick lived his very last minutes in the RhĂ´ne. The Brazilian striker would probably have preferred a better ending than a heavy defeat at home against RC Lens (0-4).
Released in the 71st minute, the 19-year-old player with 8 goals and 8 assists in 21 matches will indeed return to Spain, where Florentino Perez and Real Madrid are waiting for him. OL sporting director, Matthieu Louis-Jean, confirmed this after the match this Sunday.
“It makes me want to extend ithe assured the press, in comments reported by RMC Sport.
Is this possible? That’s another thing. It’s been a very good loan from Endrick, he’s had a good time here. He was surprising, amazing in the way he adapted. He already speaks French, it’s incredible. He’s a good boy. He gave us a lot in a very short time. »
Endrick and OL, “it’s over”
“He brought what was expected of himunderlined Matthieu Louis-Jean, admiring but realistic about crack auriverde. He’s a young player who will progress, I hope he goes to the World Cup and has a great World Cup. It was a good time together. Now, will this continue? Today it’s over, yes. »
On the program side, Endrick should arrive this Monday in the Spanish capital, according to information from Globo Esporte. He will return to training on Wednesday in order to maintain his physical form and immediately rejoin the Real squad. His participation in the last meeting, scheduled for Saturday against Athletic Bilbao, is not up for grabs.
