At the age of 15, he made his debut as a professional player. At the age of 16, he scored double-digit goals in the First Division. At the age of 18, he moved to Real Madrid for 47.5 million euros. Endrick rose quickly but ended up on the Royals bench after moving to Europe and became a meme on the internet. so far.
Because this winter, he followed up on loan to Lyon. Is it the right step to prove all his haters wrong and maybe even become Brazil’s World Cup hope?

According to “Transfermarkt.de”, the attacking player wearing a Lyon jersey is already worth an impressive €60 million at the age of 17. In just his second game for France, the striker almost exploded. He scored his first assist ten minutes later against Brest and against Metz all the dams burst. In the 5-2 away win, Enderrick scored a hat trick. Good luck?
Hardly. The Brazilian gem has scored two more goals so far and is Lyon’s player with the most goals, shots on target and successful dribbles since the start of his loan spell. Ancelotti seems to have noticed this too.
According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the former Real Madrid boss plans to nominate Ndrick for international matches against France and Croatia in March. The 19-year-old last played for the Selecao almost a year ago. After that, he no longer played a role in national team circles – also because he could not provide any arguments.

Enderrick barely played for Real Madrid after suffering a serious thigh injury in the summer. He received only 11 minutes of playing time in 11 possible league games. Meanwhile, he became something of a meme on the internet for often watching the Royal Rugby indifferently from the bench.
Now it seems the matter is over. Ndrick has been in fine form for Lyon of late, dazzling with his powerful dribbling and proving once again that he has one of the best finishing skills of his generation.
In his home country, the center has been tipped as a future superstar for years. However, he and his family never wanted to hear comparisons to Neymar and others.

“My mother always told me that I am not the new Neymar, Pele or Ronaldo. I am Enderrick,” he explained in June 2024 in a speech to 70,000 Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
If he maintains his current form, we’ll likely be talking about this Enderrick in the future. Maybe already after the 2026 World Cup.
