Deal done! Forward linked with Sporting joins Paulo Fonseca’s Lyon | OneFootball

It’s a done deal. Real Madrid and Lyon have reached an agreement for the loan of the young Brazilian Endrick, who will join the team managed by Paulo Fonseca for six months, starting in January, when the transfer window reopens, until the end of the current season.

The 19-year-old striker will be presented at the French club in the first days of January, according to ‘L’Équipe’. The forward – who was once linked with Sporting – is hoping for more opportunities to potentially still make it into Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for Brazil’s squad for the next World Cup.

The agreement between the two clubs does not include any purchase option, and the striker’s salary will be split between Real Madrid and Lyon. The player is expected to make his debut in his new shirt right after the match against Monaco, on January 3, in Ligue 1.

Endrick has reportedly already spoken with the Portuguese coach and has also watched some of Lyon’s recent games. The move he is seeking is due to his desire for more playing time, as he has not been a regular option for Xabi Alonso.

This season, wearing the Real Madrid shirt, Endrick – valued at 25 million euros – has only played three matches, without any goals or assists, after scoring seven goals in 37 games (845 minutes) in the 2024/25 season.
