Endrick is shaping up to be one of the big surprises of the winter transfer market: the forward from Real Madrid is close to going out on loan and Real Betis is out of the race.

Brazilian Endrick has barely had any playing time this season, and his role at Madrid has diminished. His priority is to gain continuity before the 2026 World Cup.

In this context, Endrick has entered advanced negotiations with Olympique de Lyon, which offers him a more prominent role and a loan that would aid in his development.

Endrick and Real Betis's Refusal

Endrick was an attractive option for Real Betis, which was looking for a striker in the winter market. However, the operation was not viable due to bureaucratic reasons.

Real Betis already has the quota of non-EU players filled — Natan, Nelson Deossa, and Antony — which prevented Endrick from signing without complications.

Furthermore, Real Madrid only considers letting him go on loan to a club that guarantees him a leading role. For the Sevillans, this requirement became another barrier in the negotiation.

Endrick, in Advanced Negotiations with Olympique de Lyon

Endrick has agreed to the idea of playing at Olympique de Lyon and is already in almost final talks with the French club.

The agreement involves a six-month loan without a purchase option, allowing Real Madrid to maintain control over the forward's future.

Olympique de Lyon has emerged as the ideal destination because it offers European competition and playing time, essential aspects for Endrick before his move into the spotlight.

Factors Speeding up Endrick's Departure from Real Madrid

Endrick's lack of minutes this season has accelerated the need to find a new destination urgently.

Additionally, the white club is aiming for a more structured development plan, requiring the forward to play consistently to complete his training.

Finally, Real Betis was ruled out as a real option due to the non-EU player regulations and Real Madrid's stance, which only contemplates a loan operation to a top-level destination.

Implications for Real Madrid and Real Betis

For Real Madrid, Endrick's temporary loan to Olympique de Lyon means losing the Brazilian temporarily but gaining time to organize the squad without compromising his progress.

For Real Betis, Endrick's rejection represents a setback in their goal of strengthening the attack in winter. They must now explore other names in the market.

Endrick will embark on a new chapter away from Real Madrid, and Real Betis will be sidelined from an operation that appears to be a strategic gamble for the young Brazilian talent.
