Endrick’s Future with Real Madrid
Endrick, the promising 19-year-old forward from Brazil, has expressed uncertainty about his future with Real Madrid once his current loan at Lyon concludes. He joined Lyon in December on a six-month temporary deal and is under contract with the Spanish club until June 2030.
Performance at Lyon
After a strong performance in France, where he netted seven goals and provided seven assists in just 17 appearances, the young talent is now contemplating his next steps.
Interview Insights
In an interview with Canal Plus Foot, when asked about the possibility of extending his loan should Lyon qualify for the Champions League, Endrick stated, “I really don’t know. If I have to return to Real Madrid, I’ll go back there gladly. If I have to go elsewhere, I’ll go elsewhere.”
This sentiment echoes his desire to play regularly, a need that prompted his departure from Madrid, where he made only three appearances this season after a total of 37 games in the previous campaign.
Lyon’s Success and Champions League Aspirations
Lyon is currently enjoying success, having won three consecutive matches, placing them in third place in Ligue 1, which offers a pathway to the Champions League. Endrick expressed hope for Lyon’s qualification, asserting, “I really hope we can take Lyon to Champions League qualification, where it belongs.”
Agent’s Statement
There has also been clarity from Endrick’s agent, Tiago Freitas, who earlier this year indicated that the decision had been made for the Brazilian to return to Madrid after his loan, dismissing the idea of a long-term stay in France beyond this summer.
