Brazilian forward Endrick has officially concluded his loan spell with Olympique Lyonnais, the player announced via social media on Sunday following Lyon’s 4-0 defeat to Lens. The 19-year-old expressed deep gratitude for his time at the club, stating he would carry the city in his heart and memory.
Endrick joined Lyon on loan from Real Madrid in January, seeking consistent playing time after limited opportunities in the Spanish capital. He had featured in only three matches for Real Madrid prior to the move. At Lyon, he quickly became a key player, revitalizing his career and earning a place in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for the upcoming Copa América tournament.
During his time in Ligue 1, Endrick made 21 appearances across all competitions for Lyon, scoring eight goals and providing eight assists. His performances helped to reignite his form and provided valuable experience as he develops as a professional footballer. The loan spell was mutually beneficial, with Endrick regaining confidence and Lyon benefiting from his attacking contributions.
The forward thanked the club and the city for their support, emphasizing the positive impact they had on his personal and professional growth. He described the experience as a period of joy, victories, and learning, and highlighted the friendships he forged during his time in France. Endrick is now expected to return to Real Madrid to compete for a place in their squad, having proven his capabilities during his spell in Lyon. His time at Lyon has positioned him well for future success with the Spanish giants and the Brazilian national team.
