In recent hours, Olympique Lyonnais appear as one of the favourites to obtain Endrick's loan during the winter transfer window. But Manchester United would reportedly have an idea in mind to get ahead of the Gones.
An Endrick loan seems inevitable when the winter transfer window opens. Several clubs are interested in obtaining temporarily the young Brazilian striker's services, notably in France, with Marseille, Lille, Monaco and especially Lyon. The Rhone club reportedly seem to have Endrick's preference and would reportedly have already started discussions to accelerate this matter.
However, Endrick's profile appeals greatly in Europe, notably to Manchester United. According to information from Madrid media Defensa Central, the English club would reportedly be considering proposing an alternative to Real Madrid. In exchange for the Brazilian's loan, the Red Devils would reportedly propose to loan until the end of the season Kobbie Mainoo, who appeals to the Merengues.
Manchester United's surprising proposal for Endrick
Player exchanges are clearly not commonplace on the transfer market, even more so when it involves a loan. Mainoo plays little at Manchester United and wishes to obtain playing time in order to participate in the 2026 World Cup, the same for Endrick, who has still not played a single minute since the start of the season. The two hotshots' situation is more or less similar.
Real Madrid are searching for a midfielder but not necessarily in the form of a loan. There are therefore few chances that such a deal will succeed. The Brazilian press estimate that Lyon are in pole position to recover Endrick. Fabrizio Romano also confirms Lyon's approach. However, Marseille, Stuttgart or Valencia and Real Sociedad are not buried and also dream of seducing the former Palmeiras gem.
