Negotiations between the two clubs have reached an advanced stage, and the player himself has made his decision, prioritizing a move to the French club.
The decision comes as a result of 19-year-old Endrick's desire to get more regular playing time, which he hasn't been able to achieve at Real Madrid during the first half of the season. The player believes that moving to Lyon will provide him with an ideal opportunity to regain his form and develop his skills ahead of a potential participation in the 2026 World Cup.
The terms of the deal that have been tentatively agreed upon involve a direct loan for six months, without including any clause that allows Lyon to purchase the player permanently after the loan period ends. The Portuguese coach Paulo Fonseca has encouraged the Brazilian player to join, taking advantage of Lyon's reputation for developing Brazilian talents.
