"Huge expectations accompanied Endrick's move to the Santiago Bernabeu from Palmeiras, which was agreed in 2022 but not completed until July 2024, after his 18th birthday. However, the teenager has so far failed to have a major impact for Los Blancos, finding his gametime limited both under Carlo Ancelotti in 2024-25 and Xabi Alonso this season. Endrick made 37 appearances for Madrid in all competitions last term, but only eight of those were starts and he was limited to 847 minutes on the pitch overall."
"Though he scored seven goals last term, he has only made three appearances (one start) and played a total of 99 minutes since Alonso replaced Ancelotti in the Madrid dugout. Endrick missed the first month of this season with a muscle injury, while he was recently shown a red card while on the bench during a damaging 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo. Madrid were keen for the 19-year-old to get regular first-team football and further his development, and on Tuesday, it was confirmed he will spend the rest of 2025-26 at Lyon."
"Real Madrid forward Endrick has agreed to join Lyon on loan for the rest of the season. Endrick will officially join Lyon on January 1, though French rules mean players cannot feature for their new clubs until four days have passed from their registration, so he will not be available for their trip to Monaco on January 3. Lyon are currently fifth in the Ligue 1 table, four points adrift of Lille in fourth."
