Overview
- On January 25, Endrick scored the first hat-trick of his career in Lyon’s 5-2 win at Metz, taking his tally to 4 goals and 1 assist in his first 3 matches.
- He joined Lyon on a straight loan from Real Madrid in early January with no purchase option, running through the end of this season.
- ESPN Brasil, cited in French reports, says coach Paulo Fonseca has asked Lyon’s hierarchy to open discussions with Real about extending the loan through 2026–27.
- Spanish outlet Defensa Central, relayed by Foot Mercato, reports Real Madrid have a squad place earmarked for Endrick next season, a claim not confirmed by the clubs.
- The Athletic, as cited locally, reports the player’s representatives would re-evaluate his situation and consider another loan—potentially with an option to buy—if pathways to minutes at Madrid are insufficient.
