Endrick admitted he has a strong affection for Manchester United because Cristiano Ronaldo played there, saying he followed Ronaldo’s career everywhere and grew up watching his United clips. The Brazilian said Ronaldo remains his idol and that Old Trafford left a mark on him because of Ronaldo’s first great rise there. The comments are likely to fuel future transfer talk, even though no move is being suggested now.

Neymar made the preliminary squad but is being load-managed and will miss a league game, leaving limited chances to show readiness before final selection.

Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca said Endrick must learn from his dismissal in the 1-0 win at Nantes, but argued the original straight red was harsh. After review, the red was downgraded to a second yellow, leaving Endrick with only a one-match ban. Fonseca claimed opponents have targeted Endrick with aggressive play in several matches and urged referees to protect his talent, pointing to a Nantes challenge he felt was meant to intimidate. He said he has spoken to Endrick, who now draws constant attention.

Lyon have struck a deal with Real Madrid to take Brazilian forward Endrick on a straight six-month loan, giving the 19-year-old a leading attacking role in Ligue 1 after limited minutes in Spain, with no option or obligation to buy attached to the agreement. With only one La Liga and one Champions League appearance under Xabi Alonso, Endrick pushed for regular game time to strengthen his World Cup chances, accepting Lyon’s project as Madrid bank a €1m fee, retain him under contract until 2030 and hand him the No.9 shirt for his French audition.

Endrick is frustrated by a lack of chances under Xabi Alonso after just 11 La Liga minutes this season, following a seven goal debut campaign, and is considering a move to kick start his development away from a crowded attack led by Gonzalo Garcia and Kylian Mbappe. Don Hutchison told Sportscasting he would endorse West Ham signing the powerful 19 year old but suggested a short La Liga loan, at a club where he can start weekly, might better rebuild confidence, fitness and output before any long term Premier League or Real Madrid return.

With opportunities scarce under Xabi Alonso following injury setbacks, Madrid approved a loan in principle to Lyon. Manchester United and Aston Villa probed late but Lyon’s guaranteed role and pathway toward Brazil consideration swayed the forward. The plan prioritizes starts and defined responsibilities over cameo minutes. Madrid retain long-term belief after a mixed debut season; Lyon gain a high-ceiling finisher to spearhead attack, with performance targets likely embedded to track progress before summer 2026.
