The future of Endrick at Olympique Lyonnais is now set. After weeks of rumors and questions, his agent has ended the suspense by confirming that the young Brazilian forward will not continue his adventure in Lyon beyond this season. As per the initial agreement, he will return to Real Madrid at the end of his loan.
In an interview with Win Win, the player’s representative clarified the situation. He first reminded everyone that the loan deal with OL does not include any option to buy. It’s a simple loan, with no chance for the Lyon club to keep the player permanently.
He also emphasized that the decision is already made: no discussions are ongoing about a possible extension. At the end of the season, Endrick will automatically rejoin the Madrid squad.
Arriving in Lyon with the goal of getting more playing time, the Brazilian quickly made his mark in the team. His convincing performances allowed him to string together matches and progress steadily. This loan has proven beneficial for all parties involved.
Olympique Lyonnais benefited from the talent of a young player with great potential, while Real Madrid provided their forward with the opportunity to toughen up in a demanding league.
Despite this positive collaboration, OL has no contractual means to keep Endrick. His agent was very clear on this point: no clause allows the French club to extend his stay.
He also dismissed any speculation about a possible arrangement, stating that Real Madrid wants to reclaim their player as soon as the season ends.
However, his return to Spain doesn’t mean he will immediately secure a starting spot. The competition is fierce in the Madrid attack, with players like Vinícius, Rodrygo, Mbappé, and Bellingham already in the mix.
Still, Endrick will return with valuable experience gained in Ligue 1. His time in Lyon has helped him grow in maturity, confidence, and consistency.
When asked about next season, his agent was cautious. He didn’t want to predict the role his client will play in the Madrid squad. One certainty remains: at the end of the season, Endrick will fully belong to Real Madrid.
In the end, the situation is now clear. Despite the interest he generates in Lyon, Endrick will not extend his stay. He will return to the White House, ready to decide the best way to integrate this young talent into their ambitious sports project.
