A new chapter is about to begin in the young career of Endrick, and it comes with mixed emotions.
According to a report from Defensa Central, the Real Madrid forward has already said his goodbyes to teammates and staff ahead of his loan move to Olympique Lyonnais.
The farewell took place quietly but carried plenty of significance. Endrick spent time with his teammates and members of the coaching staff, fully aware that he will not wear the Real Madrid shirt again this season.
Although he missed the Sevilla match due to a red card, the Brazilian was still present in the stands alongside his girlfriend, showing his support during the team’s final game of the year.
Endrick’s message to his teammates
After the match, emotions understandably surfaced. Endrick wanted to leave on good terms and made sure his message to the squad was clear and heartfelt.
Speaking directly to those around him, the young forward said, “It’s been a pleasure spending time with you all.

“I hope you win La Liga and the Champions League. I’ll be there to celebrate,” a message that left him visibly moved.
Sources close to the situation indicate that while Endrick is sad to step away from Madrid, he is convinced the decision is the right one at this stage of his career.
Within the club, there is no doubt about his talent or long-term future at the Bernabeu, but regular minutes have been difficult to come by.
Lyon’s project played a key role in convincing the Brazilian. The French club have been tracking him for some time and strongly believe in what he can bring to their attack.
They are fully aware that Endrick’s limited role in Madrid is not down to a lack of quality, but rather fierce competition in forward areas.
For now, the priority is development, and Lyon offer Endrick the platform to play regularly, gain confidence and continue his growth in a competitive European environment.
