Real Madrid and Lyon have finalised a loan agreement for Endrick until the end of the season.

AS report that the long-mooted deal is now done, with Endrick playing just two games and 22 minutes under Alonso this season.

The situation had become precarious with Alonso’s job coming under threat, but even if the Spaniard is dismissed, Endrick will still arrive in France in January.

Lyon accelerated their approach with an injury to star forward Malick Fofana, and Endrick should now be an almost guaranteed starter in a boost to his Brazil World Cup hopes.
