Five months and then gone. Endrick’s adventure at Olympique Lyonnais will not go beyond his loan concluded last winter. Matthieu Louis-Jean, head of recruitment at the Rhone club, noted the end of the story between the young Brazilian striker and Les Gones. And this despite OL’s desire to keep it.
“It makes you want to extend it. Is this possible? It’s another thing, he said after the meeting in comments relayed by RMC Sport. 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. He brought what was expected of him, he continued. 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. »
Endrick bid farewell to the public
If the Lyon leader took care to leave the door ajar, his departure therefore seems confirmed. His exit at 71e minute seemed like farewell. As he prepared to be replaced by Malick Fofana, the Madrid player turned towards the stands of Groupama Stadium to greet the supporters with applause.
OL are already thinking about next season. “We anticipate it, we have already started working, said Matthieu Louis-Jean. It’s going to be complicated because high-level matches are going to happen very quickly. We have already started working with Paulo (Fonseca) and Benjamin (Charier) for players who can join us. We will digest this season which was very good for us, we are proud of what we did. »
