Brazilian wonderkid Endrick will spend the next phase of his development in Ligue 1 after Olympique Lyon reached an agreement with Real Madrid for a loan deal, confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The move is set to run until June 2026, with no buy option included in the agreement, ensuring that the highly rated forward will return to Madrid at the end of the spell.
According to the details revealed, Lyon will cover 50 percent of Endrick’s salary during his time in France. The agreement also includes specific clauses related to guaranteed starts, underlining Lyon’s commitment to providing the young attacker with regular playing time, a key factor behind Real Madrid’s decision to sanction the move.
Endrick, widely regarded as one of the brightest talents to emerge from Brazil in recent years, has attracted global attention for his maturity, physicality, and goal-scoring instinct despite his young age. While Real Madrid view him as a crucial part of their long-term project, the club believes consistent minutes at a competitive European level will accelerate his adaptation and growth.
For Olympique Lyon, the signing represents a statement of intent. The French club are aiming to rebuild and compete more aggressively in domestic and European competitions, and Endrick’s arrival adds pace, flair, and unpredictability to their attacking options.
