ESPN: Manchester United and Villa also paid attention to Endrick, but gave up because they did not offer a buyout.

ESPN reported that Manchester United and Aston Villa had also paid attention to Real Madrid forward Endrick.

According to sources, Endrick will be loaned out by Real Madrid when the winter window opens in order to get more playing time in the subsequent stages of the 2025-26 season. As previously reported, Endrick's negotiations with Lyon have made significant progress. According to people involved in the negotiations, only a major turn of events will prevent the signing of the loan contract. Therefore, Endrick will most likely be loaned to Lyon for six months, and the contract does not include a buyout option.

ESPN has learned that an assistant to Lyon coach Fonseca has been assigned to watch tapes of Ndrick's past games in order to build a profile of his playing style.

It should also be mentioned that before negotiations with Lyon heated up, Endrick's name was linked to Manchester United and Aston Villa. However, ESPN understands that these English teams immediately abandoned the deal after learning that Real Madrid would not include a buyout option in the player's loan contract.
