The move of Endrick to Olympique Lyonnais will ultimately not be free. Loaned this winter by Real Madrid, the young Brazilian striker will not meet the conditions required to avoid a fee.
And that makes 25. Lyon will have to pay for Endrick’s loan. According to L’Équipe, a clause stipulated that no fee would be due if Endrick reached 25 appearances. However, with the remaining schedule, that target is now impossible for Lyon to achieve.
Loan clause forces Lyon to pay compensation
As a result, the club will have to pay up. A tiered system had been negotiated between the two sides to adjust the amount based on playing time.
Still, there is some good news for Lyon, as the sum remains moderate. The loan fee is expected to be between €200,000 and €400,000 for the six-month period.
Ultimately, this is a reasonable cost for a player who has already shown promising signs in his new colors, despite limited playing time.
