Endrick close to joining Lyon

Endrick has struggled for regular playing time at Real Madrid and now appears ready to switch leagues in search of more minutes on the pitch.

Details: According to insider Matteo Moretto, the Brazilian forward is very close to joining Lyon on loan — not in the summer of 2026 as initially expected, but already this January.

It was also previously reported that the game against Rayo raised questions about Xabi Alonso’s tactical approach. The team’s form has dipped in recent weeks, and both the match at Anfield and the draw with Rayo have reportedly caused concern among the club’s hierarchy.

Reminder: Real Madrid’s management believes Xabi Alonso has struggled this season and has treated Vinícius unfairly.
