Endrick Set for Emotional Lyon Farewell as Real Madrid Return Nears
Brazilian wonderkid Endrick is reportedly preparing to say goodbye to Olympique Lyonnais this weekend before returning to Spain to rejoin Real Madrid.
According to reports from Globo, the 19-year-old forward will play his final match for Lyon on Sunday before traveling to Madrid on Monday to begin preparations for the next phase of his career.
Endrick joined Lyon on a short-term loan from Real Madrid earlier this year in search of regular playing time and development opportunities. The move has proven to be a major success, with the Brazilian rediscovering form and confidence in Ligue 1. Since arriving in France, he has become one of Lyon’s standout attacking players, contributing goals and assists consistently during the second half of the season.
Reports indicate that Real Madrid have now officially informed Endrick that he remains part of the club’s plans for next season. The youngster is expected to resume training at Valdebebas shortly after returning to Spain, especially as he aims to stay fully fit ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Brazilian striker previously admitted that his loan spell in France helped him mature both on and off the pitch. Endrick explained that regular minutes at Lyon allowed him to rebuild confidence after struggling for opportunities at Real Madrid earlier in the campaign.
Although there had been speculation about a possible extended stay in France, recent developments suggest Real Madrid want him back in the squad for preseason under their new sporting project. Lyon fans are expected to give the teenager an emotional farewell during Sunday’s final Ligue 1 fixture after his strong impact at the club.
Endrick’s return could provide Real Madrid with another exciting attacking option heading into the new season. With his pace, finishing ability, and growing European experience, many believe the Brazilian remains one of football’s brightest young stars and a key part of Madrid’s future plans.
