Brazilian wonderkid Endrick has reportedly given absolute priority to a move to Olympique Lyon, despite mounting interest from several Premier League clubs eager to secure his signature.
Sources close to the Real Madrid-bound youngster revealed that Endrick is “tempted by the Lyon project” and prefers the opportunity for regular first-team football in Ligue 1. The proposed deal would see him join OL on a straight loan until June 2026, as exclusively revealed earlier.
The 18-year-old forward, who officially joins Real Madrid from Palmeiras in 2025, is believed to view Lyon as the ideal environment to continue his development before stepping into Madrid’s star-studded squad.
While Premier League sides have made strong approaches, Endrick’s camp reportedly sees OL’s offer as more strategic — giving him both playing time and exposure in a competitive European league.
If finalized, the move would represent a major coup for Lyon, who are looking to rebuild around young, high-profile talents and reignite their domestic and continental ambitions.
