Real Madrid striker Endrick Felipe could finally leave the Bernabéu this January after growing frustrated with his lack of game time under Xabi Alonso.

The Brazilian has been fully fit for nearly two months but is yet to make a single appearance this season, sparking uncertainty about his future.

According to reports from Marca, Endrick has now opened the door to a temporary move away from Madrid.

While the club would prefer a La Liga loan to help him adapt to Spanish football, the 18-year-old is reportedly uncomfortable with the idea of facing Real Madrid. Instead, he is eyeing a move abroad.

Endrick keen on Lyon switch amid growing frustration

French side Olympique Lyon have begun talks with Madrid over a possible January loan deal.

The Ligue 1 club are in strong contention for the Europa League knockout rounds and believe Endrick’s arrival could boost their attacking options. With Lyon offering both European football and a prominent role, they are currently leading the race to sign him.

Endrick, who missed four months with a hamstring injury earlier this year, has grown distraught by his continued omission from matchday action despite being named in eight consecutive squads. Once seen as Brazil’s next big star, the forward’s development risks stagnating without regular minutes.

A move to Lyon could reignite his confidence and give him the platform to prove himself at senior level before returning to Madrid next season.
