The young Brazilian forward Endrick, just 19 years old, has been officially announced as a new player for Olympique Lyon, arriving on loan from Real Madrid until June 30, 2026. The agreement does not include a purchase option and could cost the French club up to one million euros.
The move comes after a season with limited playing time for Endrick at Real Madrid, where he accumulated only 99 minutes across three appearances, prompting the decision to seek more regular action in a competitive league such as Ligue 1.
At Lyon, Endrick will wear the number 9 shirt, a historic number traditionally associated with goalscorers at the club. Expectations are high that he will contribute his attacking profile, energy, and ability to make an impact in key areas, both in domestic competition and European tournaments.
What is Endrick hoping to achieve with his move to Lyon?
Above all, he aims to gain more playing time and valuable experience, with the goal of improving his performance and boosting his chances of being considered for Brazil’s squad at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
