Check out Mourinho’s first deal in Madrid

In light of a summer full of changes expected at Real Madrid, Endrik’s name stands out as the first signing to return to the Real Madrid side after an exceptional season on loan at Olympique Lyonnais in France.

Exceptional figures in France

The young Brazilian forward has managed to make the most of his loan spell, having made just 20 appearances for the French club, but has made an outstanding mark, scoring 8 goals and providing 8 assists, directly contributing to 16 goals.

Notably, Endrick finished third on Lyon’s top scorers list despite playing half the matches of his team-mates, reflecting his high goalscoring efficiency and his ability to make an impact in limited time.

Madrid return conviction

There is a firm belief in the corridors at Royal that Andric’s return to Valdebebas next season is a must-see, with expectations that he will be a key element of the new manager’s plans, especially with the remarkable development he has shown in recent months.

The Brazilian got more playing minutes in Lyon, started in many matches and proved that he is capable of providing a lot in front of the opponents’ goal, which makes him ready to fight for a starting position in the Royal team.

The striker Mourinho is looking for

As talk grows of Jose Mourinho taking over as Real Madrid manager, although there is no official confirmation yet, Endric appears to have the qualities the Portuguese coach prefers in his forwards.

During his previous spell at Royals, Mourinho favored Gonzalo Higuain as the main striker over Karim Benzema and even referred to the Frenchman as a “cat” in reference to his non-brutal style.

In Indrik, Mourinho could find a striker very similar to Higuain, especially in terms of the intensity, impulsivity, fighting ability and constant pressure on every ball that the Portuguese coach has always favored in his attack.
