Brazilian forward Endrick has secured a six-month loan from Real Madrid to Lyon, leaving the Bernabeu in search of regular minutes after struggling for game time under Xabi Alonso, with the Ligue 1 club handing the 19-year-old the No. 9 shirt. Vinicius Junior marked the move with a supportive Instagram message, calling Endrick his brother and urging him to succeed in France, as the teenager prepares to join Paulo Fonseca’s squad, adapt to Ligue 1 and relaunch his push for club and Brazil opportunities.
