At least he has gotten a place where they'd see him as an important player, where he won't be warming the bench and clapping hands for every actions that happens on the pitch. Good move for Endrick, staying at Madrid would have finished what is left of him, can we see a new version of the young Brazilian?

I was very happy for the young boy when I read about this move yesterday. This is how it suppose to be normally, when a team or coach don't want to include a player in their project, they should without hesitation allow him to go where he would be appreciated and get appropriate playing time. Endrick is a young talent that shouldn't be seating on the bench, that's obviously a wasting of talent. The league 1 side received him with a warm welcome and I hope he enjoys his time with them with maximum contributions. I still wonder why there's no option to buy included in agreement terms when Madrid has clearly shown they don't longer have interest for him under Xabi management.

Honestly this is how is suppose to be, not sitting at a place and crying for a little time to show your skill or fighting for a spot at the club while the handwriting is written boldly on the wall that they don't need the player. Now that he has gotten a better place where young players like him are I believe he'll feel at home, at this point not everyone who goes to the bigger clubs will excel and that's the fact. This Endrick's case remind me of how Galatasaray fans accepted Osimhen when he joined the club and don't be surprised that it will happen maybe that same way for Endrick. I expect to see him perform at his highest for the fans and as well as the club to show much interest in keeping him.

Endrick deal with Lyon is imminent, and he's certainly taking a strong stance. There's no guarantee he'll be recalled to Real Madrid in the future; it all depends on his performances with Lyon. IMO this is a short journey for him, and he'll have to work hard at his new club while also working towards a call up to the Brazilian national team.

Nope  Now, Endrik literally has one job: to break Messi's incredible record at PSG - 6 goals in 26 games (27 if you count the cup).
I can already see how this will be discussed, in fact, it is already being discussed. Haaland recently surpassed Ronaldo's Premier League goalscoring record and it was widely reported in the news (especially by Messi's fan base), but soon (I think it will happen really soon) we will see similar news about Endrik.

Carlo Ancelotti brought him to Real Madrid because he had so much faith in him. Therefore, I think he's confident in his abilities. After gaining match fitness with Olympique Lyon, his chances of being called up to the Brazilian national team are very high. Also, as you said, the World Cup is in the summer, and he'll want to play in it. Playing in France for six months will give him good match fitness.

Carlo Ancelotti has high expected for Endrick and last season he got more minutes playing when Madrid still managing by Ancelotti, since departure Ancelotti and replacing by Alonso the nightmare for Endrick begin without get minutes playing in La Liga until have more at the bench than playing as regular or substitutes players.
I think the patience of Endrick have been over by accepting offer from Lyon, maybe Endrick already leave Real Madrid training and moving to Lyon will play the first match one week later. Looks enough time for adapting well and I am expected Endrick should play for the early minutes when Lyon against AS Monaco. The loan duration up to 6 moths later enough moment for Endrick proof him self and get back position for playing with Brazil at World Cup 2026.

On loan only 1/2 season to Lyon and without a purchase clause it may be because Real Madrid does not want to release the Brazilian player, it's just that he was loaned out to be able to get a lot of playing time --- at Lyon maybe Endrick will play fully there and this is an opportunity for him to improve his performance or it could be that this is Real Madrid's preparation for next season with plans for Endrick to enter the squad again.

It is clear that they do not want to sell him right now, not only because they see a potential in him, but because they can't get what they paid for him back, they paid something like 60 or 70 million if I am not wrong, even if it was 40 or 50 million, he doesn't worth that anymore because it's obvious he is not getting minutes.

They can ask for a lot, but that doesn't mean people will pay that. So, smarter move would be letting him play somewhere else and gain some value so that he would look good for other teams.

It wouldn't make any sense to sell him now because he barely played. To be honest we still don't know how good Endrick could be because we need to see him playing more, and so do Real Madrid. They spent a huge ton of money for him because they are betting on him for the future, that is another reason to keep him under their control.

It seems that Semenyo is more interested in joining Manchester City than any other club, they're one of the best in the league and could offer a quicker chance of lifting a trophy, but my worry about going to Manchester City is that he'll lack playing time cause there's several good plays in various positions he could fit in

I have read this from a whole lot of people all over the internet and i do not think i agree with them. If Semenyo believes he is good enough, which i think he is, why do people believe he cannot win his place in this City team. Savinho has underperformed, so he is way down the pecking order and City might sell him in January or in the summer.

Oscar Bobb is also injured, he too is way below the pecking order as his performances have been poor this season. So as far as competition goes for out and out wingers, Semenyo is up against Doku. Cherki, B.silva and Foden also play on the wing, but their best position is as an attacking midfielder. I think we'd see Doku and Semenyo combination a lot when he joins City.

This is a perfect deal for Endrick, he has been an unused player for Real Madrid and he is very young, he don’t deserve to be on the bench at this stage because he is a very good striker that is at his peak, so he need a regular playing time to prove himself to the world; therefore, this loan deal is perfect for him to get more playing time and also sell himself out of Real Madrid even if Lyon will not be allowed to sign him, he will get a bigger team than Lyon but it all depends on his performance within six months he will spend with them.

With Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrygo, Endrick have no space anytime soon in Real Madrid squad, so it is better he find another team that will give him more playing time in permanent deal not even loan so that when Real Madrid is ready to sign him, they will hunt for him again.

Endrick is a very talented young player. When Real Madrid signed him from Palmeiras in 2002, everyone expected him to be a star at Real Madrid. However, his performance has continued to decline, resulting in him being benched for most of the season, failing to break into Real Madrid's first team. I think his decision to leave Real Madrid and join Olympique Lyonnais was the right one, considering he's still very young at 19 years old. He needs experience and playing time at the club. Moving from Real Madrid allows Endrick to focus more and become a key player at Olympique Lyonnais. The most important thing for him now is to continue training hard and be disciplined to maintain his form and regain the trust of Carlo Ancelotti, the Brazilian national team coach. If his performance is good I think he will be called to the national team and play in the FIFA World Cup.

Good Luck Endrick.

It was a good decision for him, even though Real Madrid is everyone's dream club, his talent is still wasted by continuing to sit on the bench and his chances of playing considering Real Madrid's current situation are quite low, at least by loaning him to Lyon it will give him playing time and development, especially as the Ligue 1 competition is not as tough as La Liga, so he can strengthen his self-confidence, improve his condition and show his abilities that he is worthy of playing at the club.

It seems we're finally getting City as the winner to sign Semenyo. Chelsea is out, Manchester United rejected caused by Semenyo wants a team that consistently winning trophy, and still no progress from Liverpool. That reason enough to conclude City is winning this transfer. yet they still waiting for the final asnwer.

Hopefully, he won't waste his time and join in the pep's squad. I think it makes sense for City to pay 65m considering he's 25 yo. He has only 75k weekly salary on bournemouth, probably to be increased to 100k - 150k after he sign for City. So it's quite bargain enough.

Will he be another player that ends like Jack Grealish?! Kalvin Philips?! These names where also top players for their respective clubs before Manchester United but how did Pep Guardiola utilise them?! I feel like they're getting Semenyo because they don't want see no other club get him. Deep down, I'm also a little bit convinced he'd do just fine since Pep Guardiola wants pacy and energetic players. Bournemouth has done pretty good business with the last two transfer windows, they've made good fortune selling players.

On one side we dont need him in Manchester United as well. We got few wingers already and yeah some of them are not performing as they should be but there is really no reason to add another one thinking that this might be different. On another side, if Pep is after a player then its almost guaranteed that this player could play as good as their price tag

I feel like they're getting Semenyo because they don't want see no other club get him.

Thats one of the reason yeah. His statistic is pretty good right now and if everyone just stay out of him until summer transfer then pretty sure those statistic gonna be way higher and that means another 10-15m price tag increase on him with double the amount of clubs that wants him so yeah Manchester City is securing him right now to avoid that from happening

IMO this is a short journey for him, and he'll have to work hard at his new club while also working towards a call up to the Brazilian national team.

I can says that Endrick really make a nice move because if he continues staying in real madrid he won't get enough time to play in the pitch and now that he moves to Lyon we will see how he will perform in the club because I notice that Endrick is a talented player but he doesn't have enough minute to play well in madrid to show what is capable of doing in the competition. Let see if he can help Lyon In the league competition this season since they don't really have enough young strikers in the clubs. If Endrick perform better am sure they can probably buy him with full contact without returning to madrid anymore. I think is Rodrygo is getting enough time to play in real madrid I think he will probably stay in the club he won't leave to club anymore for now.

I was thinking: also Rasmus Højlund to Napoli. In the end, he's the second player they signed after McTominay.

Napoli are shopping at Manchester United.
In the case of McTominay, an excellent signing, it was a way for Manchester United to make money, given that he had come through the youth ranks and therefore cost nothing.
What about Højlund? Does anyone remember if they bought him for a high price?

Hojlund was one of Man Utd most expensive purchases in the 2023 season, but he also one of the players who failed to contribute to the team, similar to McTominay. As far as I remember they bought him for £70 million from Atalanta. I suspect that after being loaned to Napoli with an option to buy him permanently, Hojlund could be made permanent. He performed well so far and Napoli needs a replacement for Lukaku up front. As far as I know, Napoli will have to pay €44 million as per the agreement, which I think is quite reasonable.

I think this transfer is a very good move for Endrick and his new team, because when you're a substitute, you don't get a chance to showcase your talent. He wasn't getting much playing time at Real Madrid, which wasn't good for him. So going to a new team and proving himself could be the right decision.

Lyon is a suitable club for Endrick to prove himself, and if he succeeds there, he can go from being a substitute to a successful player. Sometimes footballers need to make transfer moves like this.

I highly doubt Real Madrid will want to sell him if he proves consistent in scoring goals. He'll find it difficult in Ligue 1; it's not easy for a player from Brazil to adapt immediately to European football, and in his case, he had the misfortune of taking a long time to adapt and not succeeding. His playing style is very limited to long-range shots and headers, so opposing defenders can easily stop him. If he doesn't change this playing style in Ligue 1, then he'll also be on the bench and lose any chance of being a starter at Real Madrid when he returns.

He is in Serie A and with the club's better conditions making Hojlund's position and mentality back in mind for now so it is quite reasonable for a clause of more than 40 million with his current form.
While it's undeniable that he hasn't been as good as before, these stats are much better than his time at Manchester United and he just needs to adapt further to bring back the form he once had.

At the moment, it seems like Manchester United should consider Zirkzee. This is another player who for me is quite a failure to be in the United squad and some time ago there were rumors about him going back on loan to another Serie A club where AS Roma were interested in this player but these rumors began to quieten down only I think if indeed Manchester United do not want to lose further then the same thing as done to Hojlund can be done for Zirkzee.

Napoli will surely sign Hojlund if he continues with his current performance till the end of the season because it looks like he is back to his best form and he has regained the confidence that Manchester United did not give him, Napoli have give Manchester United players a second chance to prove themselves that they are not a problem in the team, Manchester United problem is not the players because any player that leave the team perform well in any team they go to.

Why is Manchester United players did not perform well even if we know that the player is good before Manchester United sign them? I don’t know what is wrong with Manchester United but I think they should act fast and they should also do some spiritual research about because the club is not longer the same Manchester United we all know, they just sign Cunah and Sesko and those players have no been the same as they are when they play for their former club.

Good Luck Endrick.

Although Endrick is a talented young player, unfortunately he has not been able to express his great potential at Real Madrid because the competition at Los Blancos is very strong!
For him, going to Olympique Lyonnais will be a good place to start afresh and get more playing time, which is very important for a young player to have continuity!
Good luck, Endrick!

[Coyster]

We cannot know what his City career would be like until he joins the team. Also, for some of the players who failed at City, have people ever considered that part of the fault was from the players and they were just not good enough for a club like City. Jack Grealish had one excellent season though, which was the treble winning season.

That said, Semenyo could be a success at City. He has all the talent in the world and if he is playing under the best manager in the world, then his career can only take an upward trajectory.

This is a sign that Madrid is still keeping an eye on Endrick. They are only loaning Endrick to Lyon to help him improve. This is evident from the fact that there is no option to extend or buy him after the loan period ends. Vini, as a fellow countryman, said that he is really looking forward to Endrick returning to Madrid after a 6-month loan.

[jaberwock]

Chelsea are not alone in their pursuit of Semenyo. The Bournemouth winger is also being targeted by several other top clubs, especially in the Premier League, such as Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool. Semenyo has attracted the attention of these top clubs due to his impressive performances over the past half season.

HUGE battle Antoine Semenyo)

United makes no sense, while I understand Cunha may have been not what they wanted in the end, but they just spent something like seventy million pounds on that player and now they are looking for another left winger? I would suggest them to look for a defender instead, they need a defender that is a beast, someone like VVD or Saliba, sure they can't get those, but those players weren't this great before they got to their team, so United needs to find their version.

Guehi was the one I was thinking for United but not happening. I do hope they can find a player at defense that will make a big change for them on the long run. This way, they can do better than just getting yet another winger, that's a mistake for sure.
