Since 2011, we have mainly had to count on Paris Saint-Germain and the fortunes of Qatar to see international stars arrive in Ligue 1. But this season, Olympique Lyonnais has perhaps pulled off the biggest blow of the winter transfer window. Completely destitute in attack, the club coached by Paulo Fonseca was able to convince Real Madrid to loan Endrick until the end of the season. A loan especially desired by a player lacking playing time.
Les Gones have been working on this issue since September 2025 and today, they are rubbing their hands with it. There are still four months left to finish the 2025-2026 season, but the Auriverde international (14 caps, 3 goals) has already made a splash in just three matches (4 goals, 1 assist). For the moment, the bet is a win-win for everyone. And in a world of football where everything moves very quickly, the media are already starting to discuss the future of the former Palmeiras resident.
A new loan will be considered if…
Here, ESPN Brazil assured that Paulo Fonseca would have already asked OL leaders to negotiate with Madrid the extension of Endrick’s loan until the end of the 2026-2027 season. At first glance, such a scenario looks more like fiction. However, The Athletic reveals that the Brazilian’s clan will do anything to protect the interests of its foal. Clearly, Endrick no longer wants to relive the months spent stuck on the sidelines at Real Madrid.
If he manages to relaunch in the Rhône and if he manages to be in Carlo Ancelotti’s list for the 2026 World Cup, the Brazilian will expect more consideration from Casa Blanca. Concretely, the media explains that the player’s priority remains to establish himself with the Merengues (with whom he is under contract until 2030), but that he will want to have real possibilities to show himself. If not, The Athletic ensures that those close to the scorer “will reassess his situation to determine whether he should seek another loan or a loan with an option to purchase.” The message got through.
