While Endrick seems close to signing up with Olympique Lyonnais, Karim Benzema would not be for nothing in this choice of the young Brazilian.
In search of offensive reinforcements during the winter transfer window, Olympique Lyonnais is on the verge of striking a huge blow. In need of playing time at Real Madrid and determined to get back on track for the 2026 World Cup, Endrick would have chosen to join Les Gones for a six-month loan.
“ Endrick believes that OL is the best club for his development, where he will have the opportunity to play immediately. So it would arrive in the first days of January, so as not to waste time. Do not arrive in the middle or at the end of the winter transfer window”, announced transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano in his podcast Here We Go Podcast.
Karim Benzem, Endrick’s idol
“Negotiations are underway. There is a good chance of seeing Endrick join OL,” he continued before revealing the reasons for this choice:
“Endrick has already spoken to OL coach Paulo Fonseca. He thinks it’s a very fascinating club in terms of vision and history. Benzema played there, and he still has one of Endrick’s idols. So Endrick had some great exchanges. »
As he prepared to join Real Madrid, Endrick said all the good things he thought of the French striker. “He has all the qualities to be the ideal striker. Although he is currently in Saudi Arabia, he played for Real Madrid for many years. He understands the game perfectly, he is a spectacular player in every way. He’s been the best striker in the world for a long time.” he had explained about it.
