With tears in his eyes, Endrick said goodbye to Real Madrid. Suspended and therefore absent on the pitch against Sevilla, the young Brazilian forward was in the stands at the Santiago Bernabéu alongside his partner to support his teammates—and to bid them a temporary farewell.
According to several Spanish sources, Endrick greeted players, staff, and journalists after the match, visibly emotional. “It’s been a pleasure spending this time with you. I hope you win La Liga and the Champions League. I’ll celebrate it,” he reportedly told the group. Though he is leaving Madrid reluctantly, he believes the move is “the right choice” for the next step in his career.
A Loan Move to Gain Playing Time
Endrick is heading to Olympique Lyonnais, where he will be loaned until June, with no purchase option included. In Lyon, there is strong belief in his potential, and the club acknowledges that competition in Madrid—particularly with Kylian Mbappé—has limited his playing time. Madrid’s executives, for their part, remain confident in his long-term development despite opportunities being deemed too scarce at the start of the season.
The objective is clear for Endrick: rack up minutes in France, return stronger to Madrid next summer, and establish himself as a key player—ultimately aiming for a call-up to Brazil for the World Cup. A farewell filled with emotion, but a calculated and accepted gamble.
