Brazilian Talent Endrick Joins Olympique Lyon

Young Brazilian star Endrick is set to join Olympique Lyon on loan starting January 1. The player signed his first professional contract on July 21, 2022, at the age of sixteen.

Endrick contributed to Palmeiras' two national titles, consistently scoring crucial goals. Lucas Andrade, Palmeiras' U20 coach, stated, “What distinguishes Endrick is that he always scores decisive goals.”

Among his most notable contributions were two decisive goals in Palmeiras' thrilling 4-3 victory over Botafogo, a win that “almost secured the title,” according to journalist Thiago Rabelo.

Describing his abilities, former Bordeaux defender Henrique said Endrick is “an explosive and very strong player who perfectly fits the demands of the French Ligue 1,” likening his style to that of Sergio Agüero.

Endrick recalled the moment he signed his first contract, saying, “We did it in the meeting room my father used to clean. It was a very emotional moment.”
