Endrick already knows it, he will play with Karim Benzema in Europe, this is his new team

Karim Benzema's return to Europe opens an unexpected scenario in which Endrick could have something to do with it

The winter transfer window could see one of the most striking moves in recent years. Karim Benzema, an absolute legend of Real Madrid, is seriously considering leaving Saudi Arabia in January. In addition, his main goal is to return to Europe, where a team is already willing to open their doors to him.

This news has been received surprisingly positively at Real Madrid. The club is looking for an ideal destination for Endrick to go out on loan and get quality playing time. As strange as it may seem, the Frenchman and the Brazilian could end up sharing the front line at a very special destination.

Endrick needs to leave to recover his projection

Endrick has been going through a real ordeal since he arrived at Real Madrid. First with Ancelotti and now with Xabi Alonso, he isn't getting the desired minutes for a player of his talent. This season, he has only set foot on the field for eleven minutes, an alarming figure for his development.

With this scenario, his departure in January is certain and there are already interested parties in the Premier League, LaLiga, and Serie A. The club's idea is to find an environment where he can play, grow, and compete at the highest level. For this reason, the chosen option seems to meet all the sporting and structural requirements.

Karim Benzema and Endrick, together in a special destination

Everything indicates that Endrick will go on loan to Olympique de Lyon, a move that aligns with Karim Benzema's plans. The French star is considering returning home to end his career at the club where he developed as a professional. If it happens, Benzema would become a key figure and an ideal mentor for the young striker.

Florentino Pérez and the board believe that six months alongside Karim Benzema would be a huge boost for Endrick's development. In addition, Olympique de Lyon would have the contractual obligation to guarantee him a minimum amount of playing time, something essential for his progression. The deal is well on track and only the signature is missing.

Expectations and a promising immediate future

Real Madrid sees this deal as a unique opportunity to simultaneously boost Endrick's development and the return of an idol like Benzema. Lyon would become a generational meeting point between both forwards. The coming weeks will be decisive and the move could mark a turning point in the season.
