Endrick eyed by Benfica, but Real Madrid starlet set for move elsewhere | OneFootball

Endrick's Future Will Not Involve Benfica. According to reports, the young forward from Real Madrid - who was being linked to the Reds - already has his future mapped out. Thus, the number 16 of the Merengues will continue his career with the French team Lyon.

In a report by the newspaper Record, it is stated that the Brazilian international will head to France in January, where he will join Paulo Fonseca's team on loan. With the deal almost finalized, it is safe to say that Benfica's hopes of securing Endrick's services have fallen through.

In the same report, the sports daily mentions that the loan could become a permanent stay, with the French club having a purchase clause to secure the Merengues player's stay for the 2026/27 season.

On the other hand, the Brazilian portal UOL reported that Endrick has already spoken with Paulo Fonseca, who convinced him to move to Ligue 1. Additionally, the Brazilian press reveals that the young forward has high expectations after watching recent matches of the French team.

It is worth noting that Endrick's departure from the Spanish capital is due to his dissatisfaction with the playing time he has received at Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Benfica has other priorities in the winter market, specifically the acquisition of two wingers and a left-back.
