Endrick faces his last months as a player of Real Madrid before embarking on a new stage away from Chamartín. The Brazilian has not been able to settle in the Merengue team, and it has been decided that he will not continue; he is leaving on loan to try to earn a second stint as a Merengue player next year.

The loan to Olympique Lyon is fully confirmed and will not depend on what happens on the Madrid bench. The planning responds to sports and economic criteria clearly defined by the club.

In Valdebebas, they understand that the Brazilian forward needs minutes, continuity, and a less demanding environment. The goal is to protect a significant investment and prevent further devaluation of his value. The operation has been conducted calmly and discreetly. All parties agree that Endrick's cycle at Real Madrid is exhausted, at least temporarily.

Endrick is not part of immediate sports plans

The sporting reality has been clear. Endrick has barely featured under the different coaching staff and his role has been marginal throughout the season. Not even the change of coach altered the situation. With Carlo Ancelotti, he had a minimal role, and with Xabi Alonso's arrival, his presence was even less.

The Brazilian has only accumulated 22 official minutes between La Liga and the Champions League, a figure that reflects the lack of confidence and the absence of a defined role within the team. His recent minutes against Manchester City were seen as a one-off gesture, not a change in trend. The club considers it a mere mirage.

Real Madrid acknowledges the loan as a necessary solution

The situation worsened with a two-match ban in La Liga following his dismissal against Celta for protesting from the bench. An incident that concluded any internal debate. In this context, the Copa del Rey match against Talavera could be his final appearance in a white shirt. However, no one expects an unexpected turn of events.

Real Madrid paid around 60 million euros to Palmeiras for Endrick, a historic bet on his potential. Two seasons later, his performance has not matched expectations. His market value has significantly dropped. From around 60 million, it has plummeted to nearly 25 million, a loss that deeply concerns the board.

Olympique Lyon, a strategic destination

The loan to Olympique Lyon meets a dual need. On one hand, Real Madrid aims to enhance the player's value with playing time and real prominence. On the other hand, Endrick understands he needs continuity to stay in contention for the Brazilian national team ahead of the next World Cup.

The French club fulfills the requirements set by his environment. European competition, an ambitious project, and clear chances to be a starter from the outset. In Lyon, they consider him an important piece and have expedited the process to integrate him as soon as possible. There is even consideration for an early January debut.

A fresh start to safeguard an investment

The agreement took time due to precaution, against possible unforeseen events in the Madrid squad. However, the decision is now final. Real Madrid has defined the offensive roles, and Endrick is not part of the rotation. Gonzalo will be Mbappé's direct substitute.

The loan does not mark a definitive farewell but a necessary break. The club trusts that the player will regain confidence and form in Ligue 1. The ultimate goal is clear; if the Brazilian performs well, his value will rise, and Real Madrid will regain leverage in the future.

Endrick has not fit well into the Madrid team, and patience with him has run out in the sports management. Therefore, he will leave once the January transfer market opens. Lyon awaits him with open arms, and he will need to perform well if he wishes to earn another opportunity at Real Madrid.
