Endrick Transfer from Real Madrid to Olympique Lyonnais
According to As, an agreement is in place between Endrick, Real Madrid, and Lyon. Real Madrid insider Jorge Picon adds that Endrick decided to temporarily leave Real Madrid in three weeks, and that this decision will stand even if Xabi Alonso is sacked during that period. Endrick insisted on a loan move to earn a call-up from coach Dorival Júnior for the World Cup. He will go to France on loan in the winter transfer window until the end of the season.
According to Fabrizio Romano and AS, Olympique Lyon will loan Endrick from Real Madrid this winter. The deal was completed this week and Endrick will leave for France in January.

Endrick will join OL on a six-month loan from January. According to AS, the agreement between OL and Real Madrid is finalized. El Chiringuito reports that Real Madrid decided to pause due to the uncertain future of Xabi Alonso, but AS indicates this is not expected to affect the established deal. Endrick needs to continue his development elsewhere for a few months with the objective of participating in the World Cup next summer. The loan is a temporary transfer that does not include an option to buy.
A lack of competitive minutes is the motivation for Endrick to leave Real Madrid temporarily for a Ligue 1 club. The 19-year-old has played in only two matches this season, for a total of 22 minutes, and Gonzalo Garcia has moved ahead of him in selection preference. There is concern in the Real Madrid boardroom about allowing Endrick to leave in January due to a lack of depth in attack, and there are calls from within the club for him to stay. The deal is reportedly being delayed due to the ongoing uncertainty over Xabi Alonso’s future. If Xabi Alonso remains at the club until January, Endrick will join Lyon, but if not, the deal could be blocked. OK Diario reports that the Brazilian forward needs only to pass his medical and complete a few other requirements to finalise his loan to the French club.
According to reports from Spanish and Brazilian media, Endrick's loan to Lyon was considered almost certain. However, El Chiringuito journalist Marcos Benito reported that Real Madrid has decided to suspend the move. A trip to Lyon that was planned for this week by Endrick's representatives was canceled in recent hours.

The club aims to retain Endrick to be prepared for potential circumstances, such as injuries and the possible departure of Xabi Alonso.
