Recently, according to ESPN news, the two major powers in the Premier League, Manchester United and Villa, wanted to rent out Real Madrid's new star Endrick. However, because Real Madrid was unwilling to include a buyout clause in the loan contract, they were scared away and chose to give up the loan contract.

This season, Enderrick had a very unhappy time at Real Madrid. After the previous 11 rounds of La Liga, he only got one chance to play, and he came on as a substitute in garbage time. The 19-year-old Brazilian prodigy has gradually become a redundant person under coach Alonso's tactical system. However, even if Endrick fails to play in Real Madrid, Real Madrid is not willing to sell him. The reason is simple. He is extremely talented and has an unlimited future.

Because Real Madrid is interested in Endrick's future, they are more willing to loan Endrick out for training, and then recall him for their own use after the training is successful. This should be a wise operation that Real Madrid has tried repeatedly.

The simultaneous withdrawal of the Premier League's two giants from the deal is the best explanation for Real Madrid's strategic intentions. Even though Enderrick sat on the bench for five consecutive games after recovering from injury and only participated in 14% of the team's game time throughout the year, Real Madrid still rejected any offer that included a buyout clause. The loan of 4.5 million euros means that he not only gets a lot of income, but also hires a team to help Endrick train. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.

Data shows that Endrick scored 7 goals in 847 minutes last season, and his average expected goals per 90 minutes of 0.65 even exceeded some senior forwards in the team. With his solid dribbling skills and flexible ability to change direction, he can be used as a winger to attack or as a forward arrow, showing his excellent versatility. With such a star of hope, Real Madrid will naturally not sell it easily.

Since Manchester United and Villa, the two major Premier League powers, withdrew from the deal, Lyon, who also wanted to get Endrick, became the biggest beneficiary. This French Ligue 1 giant, which has trained 28 Brazilian players, can provide a platform for intercontinental competitions in the Europa League. Coach Fonseca has directly promised the main position. This is a growth guarantee that Manchester United and Villa cannot provide. A language-common environment and tailor-made tactics will minimize Endrick's adaptation costs. Lyon's modern football concepts and tactics should be improved to the maximum extent after Enderik joins. Real Madrid has found the best home for Endrick. So, this deal is a win-win.

Real Madrid's plan is very clear. They sacrifice Endrick's playing time in the short term to avoid the risk of premature aging of the genius; they firmly refuse to buy out because they see Endrick's long-term value. Real Madrid's current forward line is Mbappe's single-core system, which needs fresh blood to activate in the future, and Endrick's impact and shooting skills are the key puzzle pieces for Real Madrid's future forward line.

So, Real Madrid chose to rent rather than sell, which was a very wise decision.
