Real Madrid Loans: Diaz to AFCON, Endrick to Lyon
7 Dec
Summary
- Brahim Diaz departs for Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco.
- Endrick loaned to Lyon after limited first-team minutes.
- Both departures aim for player development and squad balance.

Real Madrid is preparing for two significant player departures during the upcoming winter period. President Florentino Perez has sanctioned exits for both Brahim Diaz and Endrick, aiming to foster player development and achieve better squad balance for the crucial latter half of the season.
Brahim Diaz will temporarily leave the club to compete for Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations. Expected to play a prominent role, his participation in intense international matches is seen as beneficial for his physical, tactical, and mental growth, preparing him for Real Madrid's demanding schedule.
In contrast, young Brazilian forward Endrick is set to join Olympique Lyonnais on loan until June. His limited involvement this season, with only 11 minutes played, has prompted the club to accept that benching him is detrimental. The loan move to Lyon is intended to provide him with essential game time and development opportunities.
