23 December 2025
Overview
French star Karim Benzema, Real Madrid legend and current Al-Ittihad captain, reacted to the news that Brazilian young striker Endrick is joining Olympique Lyonnais, sharing his thoughts through social media.
Loan Details
Endrick has officially joined Lyon on a six-month loan starting January 1, for one million euros, with no permanent purchase option.
The move comes as the 19-year-old seeks more playing time after struggling to secure a regular place under coach Xabi Alonso and, before him, Carlo Ancelotti.
Reaction and Context
Benzema's reaction on Instagram signaled optimism, and fans welcomed his positivity, with the Saudi star's emojis adding a dash of fanfare.
The broader transfer chatter around Endrick, Lyon and the Ligue 1 scene underscores how social media can amplify even a six-month loan.
Punchline 1: If transfers were a sniper, Endrick's loan hits the target on day one—because nothing says 'serious business' like a six-month lease.
Punchline 2: And Benzema? He fires off a reaction emoji faster than a defender, proving legends know how to negotiate with a single click.
