Endrick was clearly delighted to have secured a loan move away from Real Madrid, proclaiming 'Christmas came early' now he's signed for Lyon.

Lyon have officially confirmed that the 19-year-old striker has joined the club from Real Madrid for the rest of the 2025-26 season.

Endrick found chances under new manager Xabi Alonso hard to come by, featuring for just 11 minutes in La Liga.

The French club announced the Brazilian’s signing with a video of him admiring Christmas trees and taking a trip to the club shop to try on his new number nine shirt.

He then turns to the camera and states: “Christmas has come early.” The signing marks a major coup for Lyon considering their recent struggles off the pitch.
