L Equipe: Fonseca has persuaded Enderrick to join Lyon, Real Madrid demands a loan fee

November 04 According to "L'Equipe" report, Fonseca has persuaded Endrick to join Lyon.

Lyon has made significant progress in negotiations to rent Brazilian international Endrick. Fonseca recently had a phone conversation with the 19-year-old forward and finally convinced him to agree with Lyon's development plan.

In Xavi Alonso's tactical system, Enderrick is still the third center choice after Mbappe and Gonzalo Garcia. Facing the prospect of calling for the 2026 World Cup, this situation is obviously difficult to satisfy. The 19-year-old star has reached a consensus with the club management and will leave the team for training on a pure loan basis (excluding a buyout clause) from January to June next year.

As "Team" revealed last week, the Brazilian is more inclined to join Lyon. Fonseca's side are in dire need of a centre-forward - a problem highlighted again last Sunday in a goalless draw away to Brest (0-0). Enderrick keenly grasped this opportunity and looked forward to gaining a core position and a lot of playing time at Lyon.

According to a Madrid source close to the player, he has strengthened his determination after direct communication with the Lyon coach who speaks the same language recently. The genius who once shined at Palmeiras is dissatisfied with his competitive situation at Real Madrid and hopes to complete the transfer as soon as January 1 so that he can make his debut at the new club immediately.

But Real Madrid currently has the upper hand. Due to Mastantono's absence due to a groin injury, Los Blancos temporarily lost an offensive player - although the Argentine's right winger position is not Endrick's main position, the Brazilian teenager who is also a left-footed player can also be temporarily qualified. Real Madrid's management insists on financial compensation in a pure loan deal, which is becoming a central issue in negotiations with Lyon. Although the player has expressed his interest, both clubs still need to reach an agreement, a process that may still take some time.
