Madrid rejects €60M for Endrick and Fabrizio Romano confirms it: 'He's going to Lyon'

Endrick is not satisfied with his current situation at Real Madrid. The young striker arrived at the Bernabéu raising many expectations because of what he had done in Brazil at only 17 years old. However, the reality has been very different from what he imagined when he landed at the white club.

Neither with Carlo Ancelotti first nor with Xabi Alonso later has he managed to have continuity. The opportunities have been scarce and always in unfavorable contexts. That lack of minutes has started to weigh heavily on Endrick and on his closest circle, who are already looking for a way out in this January transfer window.

Endrick grows tired of waiting

Endrick assumed that the competition would be high, but he trusted he would have more presence as the weeks went by. Real Madrid opted for a cautious integration, prioritizing immediate results. The problem is that the Brazilian has barely had room to show his true level.

This situation has caused evident wear. Endrick believes that he needs to play in order to keep growing and not stagnate at a key stage of his career. The club is aware of that risk and has looked for an intermediate solution.

The loan to Lyon, an agreed exit

Endrick's departure is already confirmed and it will be in the form of a loan to Olympique Lyonnais. The agreement between clubs is complete and only the official confirmation is missing, but highly reputable sources such as Fabrizio Romano have already confirmed the operation. The objective is for the Brazilian to have minutes, continuity, and an important role starting in January.

Lyon offers a competitive context, less media pressure, and a clear sporting project. Real Madrid believes that it is the ideal setting for Endrick to regain confidence. The loan doesn't include a purchase option, which reinforces the idea of a future investment.

Madrid rejected 60 million for Endrick a few days ago

Endrick's destination could have been very different a few weeks ago. Real Madrid received an offer of 60 million euros to complete his permanent transfer. Although the identity of the club in question has not been revealed, the player's entourage has confirmed that the proposal existed.

However, Florentino Pérez was clear and rejected the proposal without hesitation. The president believes that Endrick is a long-term strategic asset. To sell now would be to give up a footballer with the potential to define an era.

Florentino Pérez's response sets Real Madrid's course. Endrick is not for sale, which is why he will leave on loan to Lyon, as Fabrizio Romano has confirmed. The loan is only one more step within a plan that still sees him as the club's future.
