[Saba Sports News] Recently, Brazilian starlet Endrick shared a photo on social media with his wife, arriving in Lyon, France, officially beginning his six-month loan from Real Madrid to Lyon. In the photo, the young couple holds Lyon’s new season jerseys and eagerly poses for a commemorative shot on their private jet, clearly excited about the new challenge ahead.
It is reported that they have successfully arrived in Lyon and will immediately begin adapting to their new environment and training. According to the agreement, the 19-year-old Endrick will join Lyon for a loan fee of €1 million, for the second half of the 2025/26 season (6 months), with no option to buy included in the contract. Lyon will cover half of his salary. He is expected to wear the number 9 jersey, symbolizing the main striker role, and is likely to make his debut in the away match against Monaco on January 3 — this will be the first match after the winter break in Ligue 1.
Endrick’s main goal for this loan is clear: to gain more playing time to enhance his chances of making Brazil’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. This season at Real Madrid, Endrick’s playing opportunities have been extremely limited — having only played once in La Liga and once in the Champions League. Under Xabi Alonso’s management, Endrick’s position in the first team has become even more marginalized.
