Real Madrids Rising Star Endrick Secures Loan to Olympique Lyon Amidst Premier League Rivalry

The youthful Brazilian forward has found it challenging to secure regular minutes on the pitch following his transfer to Santiago Bernabeu from Palmeiras in 2024.

Struggles in La Liga

Despite being hailed as one of the brightest young prospects in football, the striker has not been able to recapture the form that led to his transfer to La Liga last year.

This season, he has made only three appearances across all competitions under the new management of Xabi Alonso. A thigh injury at the beginning of the season also hampered his ability to start on a strong note.

Current Performance

Endrick has yet to find the back of the net for Los Blancos this season, having scored seven goals in 37 matches during his inaugural season in Spain.

Recent reports from Fabrizio Romano indicate that he is set to join Lyon on loan, with the French club agreeing to cover 50% of Endrick’s salary. However, the loan agreement will not include an option to buy him.

Transfer Buzz

Initially, there were rumors linking Endrick to a loan deal in the Premier League, with Manchester United and West Ham showing interest in the forward.

However, those discussions have since been overtaken by Lyon, who acted swiftly to secure the young Brazilian’s signature.
