Endrick: Real Madrid is taking its time
Endrick’s loan move to Lyon is still not finalized. According to journalist Marcos Benito, Real Madrid has yet to give the green light and will wait until the start of the winter transfer window in January.
The Spanish club wants to be prepared in case one of their forwards gets injured, which would require Endrick to remain available. The 19-year-old Brazilian has played just 11 minutes this season under Xabi Alonso.

The financial details of the loan seem to be settled: Lyon would pay 50% of his salary starting in January, there is no loan fee, and the player would be guaranteed playing time. But for now, no final decision has been made.
