ESPN: Manchester United wanted to sign Enderrick, but Real Madrid refused to impose a mandatory buyout and the deal fell through

Hupu News on November 4th According to ESPN Brazil, the media updated the future situation of Real Madrid forward Endrick. According to reports, the Brazilian forward was close to joining French Ligue 1 club Lyon. Although Manchester United and Villa were also interested in him, the two Premier League clubs eventually withdrew from the negotiations.

In Real Madrid's victory over Valencia in La Liga last weekend, forward Endrick came on the bench in white again after five months. But ESPN learned that this does not mean that the Brazilian's situation at the club has changed - according to sources, the Real Madrid No. 9 player will be rented out by Real Madrid after the transfer window opens in January next year to ensure more playing time in the 2025/26 season.

As previously reported, the Brazilian left-footed player has entered into in-depth negotiations with the French club Lyon. Relevant sources revealed that unless "major changes" occur, the transaction will be completed smoothly. Ndrick will play for the Ligue 1 side for six months on a purely loan basis (without a buyout clause).

ESPN also learned that Lyon coach Paul Fonseca has assigned assistants to study Ndrick's game videos in depth, including his games with Palmeiras and Real Madrid in 2022-2023, and is producing exclusive tactical analysis reports for the players.

It should be noted that before starting specific negotiations with Lyon, Endrick's name had been linked to Manchester United and Aston Villa in the Premier League. But sources said the two English clubs immediately withdrew from negotiations after learning that Real Madrid refused to include a buyout clause, causing the deal to collapse. It is precisely because Lyon accepted a pure loan plan without a buyout clause that it became the next stop chosen by Real Madrid and the player team.
