Endrick shines at Lyon and will only return to Real Madrid on one condition: Florentino knows it
The loan has boosted the Brazilian, who has already conveyed a key demand to the club before he considers returning
The decision to loan Endrick to Olympique Lyonnais is starting to look like one of Real Madrid's great recent successes. Far from Bernabéu, the forward has found something he didn't have: minutes, confidence, and continuity.
In France he is shining, he plays, he makes a difference, and he once again feels like a protagonist. It is an ideal scenario for a young footballer who needs to compete without the daily pressure that wearing white entails. Lyon has given him space to grow, and Endrick is responding on the field.
Growth away from home also sends messages
That performance has reopened the debate about his future. At Madrid they are closely following his development, aware that the player is maturing at great speed. The loan has not only served for him to gain experience, but also for him to be clearer about what he wants and what he doesn't accept.

Endrick knows that his return to Bernabéu can't be a step backward. He has recovered his feelings, he has once again trusted himself, and he is not willing to lose that momentum. That's why, before making any decision, he has conveyed a very specific request to the club.
A clear condition before returning to Bernabéu
The forward wants to know who will be the next coach and, above all, whether Álvaro Arbeloa will remain in charge of the team. The message is direct: Endrick doesn't consider returning if Arbeloa continues as coach.
The footballer believes that his previous spell was marked by a lack of confidence and continuity. He believes that this context slowed his growth, and he doesn't want to repeat a similar experience. Now that he has shown what he is capable of with minutes and support, he demands real sporting guarantees.
Florentino takes note of an important warning
In the club's offices the message has been received. Florentino Pérez knows that Endrick is an investment for the present and the future, but he also knows that his management will be key to not slowing his progression.
The Brazilian doesn't close the door on returning, he wants to succeed at Real Madrid, but not at any price. His condition is clear: to return only if the sporting project offers him confidence, continuity, and a coach with whom he feels supported. Meanwhile, he continues to shine in Lyon, reminding everyone that his talent needs more than patience; it needs conviction.
