La Liga
The future of Endrick has entered a strategic pause phase within Real Madrid, a move that reflects the club's caution before making a final decision. The young forward was hoping to make a leap in LaLiga, but his prominence has been minimal and the lack of minutes weighs heavily, especially considering his chances of being in the next World Cup. The Brazilian knows that without continuity, it will be practically impossible to break into Brazil's plans, which is why his surroundings decided to open the door to a temporary exit in January.
Despite that desire, the white club has halted any progress related to his departure. Currently, there is only a verbal agreement with Olympique de Lyon, with no signed documents, as Real Madrid wants to wait for the winter window to approve the loan. From the offices, they understand that an unexpected injury in the forward line could completely change the scenario and leave the team without alternatives in a crucial stretch of the season.
Injuries could complicate Endrick's departure
Moreover, they are considering any internal turn of events that could alter the sports planning. A change in coach could modify the striker's situation, especially considering that Xabi had already communicated in the summer that he did not count on him and preferred to bet on Gonzalo García as the second '9'. Initially, Endrick accepted this hierarchy, thinking that with patience, his opportunity would come, but the reality has been clear: his role has been limited to a secondary position on the bench.
At Valdebebas, they insist that the striker has enormous potential, and no one within the club doubts that he is destined to become a key piece of the future. At just 19 years old, his room for improvement is extraordinary, but he needs to play regularly to accelerate his growth. The summer market was not the right time for a departure, as he was recovering from an injury and his competitive value was not at its best, but now the situation is different, and the player himself sees an immediate loan as necessary.
Among the options on the table, Olympique de Lyon stands out as an attractive destination. Ligue 1 is a competition that favors young attackers thanks to its pace, spaces, and offensive style, which align perfectly with the Brazilian's strengths. Additionally, the French club has provided him with sporting guarantees, promising him a starting role in most games, a point that particularly appeals to his surroundings and could translate into the competitive boost he needs.

His departure is practically a done deal
Meanwhile, calm and meticulous planning prevail in Chamartín. The leaders want to explore all possibilities before making a final decision, especially because the team does not want to lose offensive depth before the market opens. In the locker room, no one doubts the impact the young attacker can have in the medium term, but the current urgency lies in his immediate development and ensuring he reaches the World Cup with a high level of competition.
Everything indicates that the final decision will come once the winter market is officially activated. The club will then communicate whether they approve his exit or decide to retain him for a few more weeks as a precaution. The only certainty is that Endrick remains a crucial project for Real Madrid, which aims to proceed cautiously and avoid a mistake that could hinder his progression, especially at a time when his lack of minutes in LaLiga is affecting his development.
Real Madrid's strategy with Endrick
The white team calculates each move with caution, aware that an injury in the forward line could leave the team without replacements. Thus, they do not want to rush a decision that could have significant sports consequences.
Endrick and Lyon's role as an alternative in Europe
The French option presents itself as an ideal opportunity for the player to find continuity, confidence, and a supportive environment for his development. The lack of minutes in LaLiga is the main driver pushing the Brazilian to seek new challenges outside to not hinder his growth curve.
