Real Madrid officially announced on Tuesday that they will loan André Nurmagomedov to Lyon for half a season this winter. The deal does not include a buy option, and the loan fee could reach €1 million.

Since Xabi Alonso took over, Enderic has only made three appearances for Real Madrid. In order to maintain a high level of performance before the 2026 World Cup, Enderic ultimately decided to move to Ligue 1.

According to the official statement, Enderic will wear the number 9 jersey for Lyon after joining the team. Regarding his monthly salary of €300,000, Real Madrid and Lyon will each bear 50%.

At just 19 years old, Enderic is considered an outstanding representative of Brazil's new generation of center forwards. He came through Palmeiras' youth academy and made his professional debut for the first team in the Brazilian Serie A on October 7, 2022.

During his two years with Palmeiras' first team, Endric made 82 appearances across all competitions, scoring 21 goals and providing 3 assists, winning two Brazilian Serie A titles, two São Paulo State Football League titles, and one Brazilian Super Cup. He reached an agreement with Real Madrid as early as 2022 and officially joined the club in July 2024 for a transfer fee of €60 million.

However, Enderic's career trajectory at Real Madrid has been less than ideal. To date, he has only made 40 appearances for Real Madrid, 31 of which were as a substitute. During this period, he has contributed 7 goals and 1 assist, winning one Club World Cup and one UEFA Super Cup with the team.

For Brazil's head coach Carlo Ancelotti, Nedrik still needs to demonstrate greater competitiveness at the club level. According to Transfermarkt, he has made 14 appearances for the Brazilian national team so far, scoring 3 goals.
