Real Madrid‘s young striker Endrick, aged 19, is looking for more playing time and may leave on loan during the January 2026 transfer window. Despite recovering from an injury over a month ago, he has not had the chance to play under manager Xabi Alonso, raising concerns ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyon has officially started talks with Real Madrid to sign Endrick on loan. Currently sitting fourth in Ligue 1 and competing in the UEFA Europa League, Lyon offers the young Brazilian a chance to showcase his skills in a competitive environment with a solid project.
Realizing he might not get guaranteed playing time at Madrid, Endrick is reportedly welcoming Lyon’s proposal.
