According to the influential French publication L'Equipe, Real Madrid forward Endrick wants to join Lyon on loan after the winter transfer window. Personal contact with French team head coach Paulo Fonseca played a decisive role in the young Brazilian's decision.
According to reports, Fonseca spoke with Endrick by phone and convinced him of Lyon's development plans and new project. Following this conversation, the footballer expressed serious interest in continuing his career in the French league.
Endrick is looking for new opportunities at Lyon
The 19-year-old striker hasn't had enough playing time for Real Madrid. In the La Liga match against Valencia, which ended 4-0, he played only 11 minutes. Therefore, Endrick is looking for opportunities to play regularly to fully realize his potential.
Lyon has high confidence in young players. The Fonseca team is in the process of restructuring, focusing on fast, technical, and proactive players. This is a unique opportunity for Endrick.
Transfer negotiations are not yet complete
However, the Madrid club and Lyon's management have not yet fully agreed on the loan terms. Real Madrid wants to receive a certain amount of financial compensation for the loan agreement. This issue is currently the main point of contention between the two clubs.
In addition, the injury of young Real Madrid striker Franco Mastantoño could also affect the situation. If he struggles to recover, the Madrid club is likely to keep Endrick temporarily.
Will the Winter Window be a new stage for Endrick?
Endrick's move to Lyon could be a significant step in his development in European football. The French league traditionally serves as a catapult for young players. Many Brazilians have proven themselves here and then made their way to bigger clubs.
The young striker himself recently said in an interview, "I want to continue my career with regular games. My goal is constant development."
Real Madrid's management has not yet made an official decision, but if negotiations are finalized, Endrick could start training with Lyon on January 1st. Great hopes are pinned on him in France - it's certain this will be one of the most exciting events of the winter transfer window.
