Chelsea are reportedly preparing a massive €80 million bid to sign Brazilian prodigy Endrick, following his sensational start to life on loan at Lyon.
The “Blues” Interest
According to Football Transfers, Chelsea have placed the 19-year-old at the top of their summer wishlist. The London club is ready to test Real Madrid’s resolve with a formal offer, hoping to capitalize on Endrick’s desire for consistent first-team football something he has found in abundance in France.
The Real Madrid Stance
Despite the tempting figures, a permanent move remains a complex hurdle. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez views Endrick as a cornerstone of the club’s future project. Currently under contract at the Bernabéu until June 2030, the plan is for Endrick to return to Spain this summer to join Álvaro Arbeloa’s squad.
However, Lyon manager Paulo Fonseca has other ideas. Impressed by the striker’s immediate impact, Fonseca has urged the French club’s board to negotiate a loan extension for at least one more season, ensuring Endrick continues his development as a guaranteed starter.
From the Bench to the History Books
Endrick’s transformation since leaving Madrid in early January has been nothing short of miraculous:
- At Real Madrid (1st Half of Season): 3 games, 0 goals, 0 assists (avg. 33 mins).
- At Lyon (Last 3 Games): 4 goals (including a historic hat-trick), 1 assist.
With five goal contributions in just three matches, Endrick has proven that he only needed “minutes” to justify his reputation as one of the world’s most clinical young finishers.
