""Some Brazilian clubs have asked if I would like to return, but it's not the time to think about that," Endrick, 19, told ESPN Brasil. "I want to play in the biggest and best leagues. I have to stay in Europe to do that. Endrick moved to Real Madrid from Palmeiras when he turned 18 in July 2024 and made 22 league appearances in his first season in Spain."
""My first year was incredible," he said. "From the presentation onwards. I was able to play in all competitions and scored goals in all of them. "I arrived aged 18 to the biggest club in the world, with a squad that had won everything, and I played alongside all of them. I know I'll play more, but I have to take it one step at a time.""
Endrick joined Lyon on loan from Real Madrid after making only three appearances this season. Some Brazilian clubs enquired about a return, but the plan is to remain in Europe to play in the biggest leagues and secure more minutes. Endrick moved from Palmeiras to Real Madrid at 18 and made 22 league appearances in his first Spanish season while scoring across competitions. Advice from Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso influenced the decision to seek regular playing time at a big club. Endrick recovered from a recurring hamstring injury and aims to earn a Brazil World Cup place.
