Positive Numbers

His spell in Ligue 1 has been brilliant, with five goals in six matches. The impact was so great that coach Paulo Fonseca requested an extension of the loan, but Real Madrid already sees Endrick as a reinforcement for 2026/27. The Spanish club wants the youngster back to compete for a spot in the main squad after gaining the necessary experience in French football.

The agent denied any adaptation problems in Madrid, highlighting that the youngster scored goals in his debuts in both the Champions League and La Liga. According to Freitas, the limited playing time at first was due to high competition and the lack of a pre-season. The loan was a strategic and consensual step between the player’s staff and the Madrid board to ensure his development.

“When a kid joins a team that has 8 of the 10 best players in the world, it’s normal for him to have limited time on the field,” said Tiago Freitas.

With the return confirmed, Endrick will go back to Spain with greater international experience. The plan, aligned with coach Xabi Alonso, focuses on fully integrating the Brazilian into the group. Until June, the striker remains at Lyon, where he aims to keep up his goal-scoring form to finish his journey in France on a high note and even regain his place in the Brazilian National Team for the 2026 World Cup.
