According to multiple media reports, including journalist Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between the two clubs have reached an advanced stage, and the player himself has made his decision, prioritizing a move to the French club.

The decision comes as a result of 19-year-old Endrick's desire to get more regular playing time, which he hasn't been able to achieve at Real Madrid during the first half of the season due to strong competition for attacking positions, especially with players like Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior. The player believes that moving to Lyon will provide him with an ideal opportunity to regain his form and develop his skills ahead of a potential participation in the 2026 World Cup.

The terms of the deal that have been tentatively agreed upon involve a direct loan for six months, without including any clause that allows Lyon to purchase the player permanently after the loan period ends. The Portuguese coach Paulo Fonseca has encouraged the Brazilian player to join, taking advantage of Lyon's reputation for developing Brazilian talents.

Currently, the two clubs are exchanging official documents to finalize the deal, with the contract expected to be signed next December. Despite interest from other clubs, Endrick remains committed to his decision to move to Lyon, which underscores both parties' seriousness in completing this step that will mark an important turning point in the young player's career.
