Endrick's future could take a U-turn after Real Madrid's latest decision

Endrick is experiencing the most difficult moment since his arrival at Real Madrid, as he isn't part of the coaching staff's plans. His time on the field has been minimal with Xabi Alonso on the bench, so much so that he's only played 11 minutes across all competitions.

This lack of consistency is starting to weigh on the player's spirits, as he hoped to have a much more significant role. Endrick has shown commitment and ambition, but he hasn't found continuity or a stable place within the Madrid system. That's why his departure in January seemed perfectly set.

Endrick's future takes a U-turn

Florentino Pérez knows that with Kylian Mbappé and Gonzalo García ahead of him, Endrick's room to grow is minimal, so he had considered forcing his departure in January. In fact, everything seemed to indicate that Real Madrid's "9" had a deal done with Lyon. Fabrizio Romano himself confirmed the operation weeks ago, even discussing the cost of the loan and a clause in his contract that would guarantee him a minimum number of matches.

However, to the surprise of Madridists everywhere, everything has come to a complete halt. Real Madrid has decided to stop the operation because the internal context has changed in recent weeks. According to El Chiringuito, "Real Madrid has asked Endrick to wait before reserving a house in Lyon; his entourage has canceled a trip that was scheduled for this week".

Endrick's loan to Lyon is on hold

Florentino Pérez has asked Endrick to wait before looking for a house in Lyon. Still, the reason remains a mystery, as it seems his future will inevitably involve leaving Bernabéu in January. In fact, according to El Chiringuito they also mention that Xabi Alonso "doesn't even look at him or talk to him".

Meanwhile, Endrick, beyond the latest rumors, is eager to leave Real Madrid. He's grown tired of waiting in the shadow of Mbappé and Gonzalo, but above all, of not having opportunities. He believes that, given his quality and potential, he deserves much more and doesn't understand why Xabi Alonso doesn't count on him, so he'd welcome a move to Lyon.

For now, they've asked him to wait, and that's what he'll do. In addition, with Mbappé out tonight against City, he could get the minutes he's been waiting for so long. If he plays well and convinces Xabi Alonso, with his move to Lyon on hold, his situation could change dramatically.
