A clause in Endrick's contract allows him to return to Real Madrid
Endrick's loan agreement establishes the possibility of returning to Real Madrid before January 20.
Endrick could return to Real Madrid
There is a clause that could see the Brazilian striker return to Real Madrid just days after leaving.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Endrick could return from his loan spell at Olympique Lyon, with January 20 being the last day to execute the clause.
Real Madrid's current situation
Following Xabi Alonso's departure, a new interim coach and a possible second coach to replace Arbeola are expected; the situation is fluid and changing, and therefore unstable.
Does Endrick want to return?
Romano acknowledges that the Brazilian is happy at Lyon and is performing well, scoring a goal in his first appearance with the French team.
Another concern for Endrick is the possibility of returning to Madrid and not being a starter due to coach Arbeloa's preference for García, who trained in the reserve team, over him.
The situation is ephemeral
As Real Madrid has until January 20 to execute this clause, many ideas and opinions may change. Just as Florentino Pérez lost patience with Endrick and Xabi Alonso, the Brazilian's good development and performance at the French club could encourage some kind of change in his objectives.
It would seem that... He doesn't want to come back
According to the newspaper AS, Endrick quickly rejected the possibility of returning to Real Madrid; he wants to continue at Olympique Lyon, the club chosen by both the Merengues' management and Endrick himself, seeing it from the perspective of the development he could gain. Endrick has clear objectives, including getting more playing time, regaining confidence, and playing continuously without significant interruptions, something that Madrid had been unable to offer him.
