Real Madrid and Lyon have agreed on a six-month loan deal for Endrick to ensure the Brazilian teenager receives regular playing time for the remainder of the season.
Real Madrid and Olympique Lyonnais have finalized an agreement for the loan of Brazilian prodigy Endrick until the end of the current season.
The move is designed to provide the 18-year-old with the consistent first-team minutes he has lacked at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Despite high expectations following his arrival from Palmeiras, the fierce competition in Madrid’s frontline has restricted the youngster to sporadic appearances under manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The deal is a straight loan without an option for a permanent transfer, ensuring Real Madrid retains full control over the player’s long-term future.
Lyon, currently seeking to bolster their attacking options in Ligue 1, viewed the Brazilian international as a priority target for the winter window.
Reports indicate that “Real Madrid’s objective is for the player to gain experience in a competitive league” before returning to the Spanish capital next summer.
Endrick reportedly gave his “green light” to the move after receiving assurances regarding his role in the French side.
The finalization of the deal marks a significant step in the teenager’s development, as he looks to adapt to European football in a less pressurized environment.
Official confirmation of the transfer is expected shortly, with the striker anticipated to join his new teammates in France during the opening days of January.
