Lyon news

Real Madrid-owned Endrick, who is currently enjoying a loan spell at Ligue 1 side Lyon, is being tipped to seal a “very special” transfer to Manchester United. The Brazilian wonderkid has found the going tough at his parent club, amid fierce competition for places, and a permanent move away from Santiago Bernabeu is being speculated on for the summer of 2026.

Lyon boss Paulo Fonseca insists that striker Endrick needs to learn from his red card after the on-loan forward was dismissed during OL's 1-0 win at Nantes last weekend. The teenage striker was shown his marching orders on the hour mark in the narrow victory at the Stade de la Beaujoire last weekend which extended their winning run to six matches ahead of tonight's game against Nice.

Endrick has learned his fate following a controversial dismissal during Lyon's narrow victory over Nantes last weekend. The Real Madrid loanee was initially shown a straight red card for lashing out at an opponent, but the LFP Disciplinary Committee has handed the teenager a significant lifeline by downgrading the offence, ensuring he returns to action far sooner than initially feared.

Endrick's agent has confirmed where the Brazilian superstar will play his football in 2026-27 after enjoying a great start to life in France on loan at Lyon. The forward has hit the ground running in Ligue 1, scoring a hat-trick in a big win over Metz, which has led to speculation Lyon could try to keep him at the club. His agent, Tiago Freitas, has now offered an update on the situation.

Lyon boss Paulo Fonseca has reprimanded the officials who took charge of his side’s game against FC Nantes after Real Madrid loanee Endrick was shown a red card in what the Portuguese coach described as ‘very harsh’ circumstances. Fonseca continued to criticise the referee and demanded that his forward gets protection from persistent fouling by the Ligue 1 officials.

Endrick continues to set French football alight after his latest heroics for Lyon in the Coupe de France. The Real Madrid loanee secured a vital breakthrough against Laval, later admitting the strike allowed him to vent frustrations from previous weeks. With five goals in five games, the Brazilian starlet is quickly becoming the new idol of the Groupama Stadium faithful.

Endrick continues to offer parent club Real Madrid timely reminders of what he is capable of, with another spectacular goal being recorded during a productive loan spell at Lyon. The Brazilian wonderkid headed to France at the start of the winter transfer window after finding regular game time in Spain hard to come by. A dream start to life at the Groupama Stadium has been enjoyed.

The January transfer window offered admittedly few high profile moves, but there were certainly some significant deals that will have an impact this year and for those to come.

Famously, the January transfer window is the more difficult of the two to operate in. It's hard to persuade other clubs to give up assets mid-season, sometimes even harder to convince players that they're better off making a move immediately rather than waiting until the following summer. But that doesn't mean deals are impossible, or that you can't get good value for your buck.

January is a notoriously bad time for buyers because nobody ever wants to sell top talent midway through the season. There are, however, exceptions to the rule. Some clubs need to raise funds to balance the books, while others can be left with not option but to unload an unhappy player who has made it clear that he wants to join a stronger side.
