Endrick wants to join Lyon on loan from Real Madrid

Real Madrid striker Endrick is keen on a loan move to Ligue 1 outfit Lyon, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist has claimed that talks are going on between Madrid and Lyon over a loan for the Brazil international striker.

Romano said on his YouTube channel:  “Olympique Lyon are pushing really a lot to close this deal with Real Madrid as soon as possible because they feel Endrick wants to join them.

“Rumours on Manchester United – not true.

“Rumours on Aston Villa – I am not aware of that.

“I am told that Endrick is giving absolute priority to Olympique Lyon.

“French club, but Portuguese manager, so same language.

“Former club of Karim Benzema, very good connection, Real Madrid legend, one of the idols of Endrick.

“The opportunity to play immediately as a starter. Lyon need a striker. They would play Endrick on the 1st of January already. Come and play.

“It’s not, wait for a few weeks, close the deal at the end of January, let’s waste one month.

“Immediately, do the deal, play the boy. So, Endrick is very ready to go to Olympique Lyon.

“Now Olympique Lyon and Real Madrid are discussing the terms of this loan, but my expectation is that the exclusive story and Olympique Lyon can become a reality quite soon.

“So, deal absolutely on Olympique Lyon, and they are way ahead of the English clubs for the Brazilian striker to get him on loan.”
