The story around Endrick is becoming increasingly intriguing with every match. The 19-year-old forward, currently on loan from Real Madrid to Lyon, is finally finding his rhythm. On Sunday, he scored again in Lyon's 4-2 victory over Rennes. That goal helped push Lyon into the Champions League qualification spots in Ligue 1.
But what truly caught attention was not just his performance. It was what he said after the match. When asked about his future, Endrick gave a remarkably personal answer. He stated that his next move will depend on "what God tells my wife to do." It was a simple, honest response, very different from the usual football clichés.
Endrick and Gabriely Miranda's growing influence
Endrick has had a mixed time since joining Real Madrid in a £51 million move from Palmeiras in 2024. He struggled to secure regular starts. Out of 40 appearances, he started only nine matches, with most of his time spent coming off the bench. That is why the loan move to Lyon in January became crucial.
Now, things look very different. He has already scored eight goals and provided seven assists for Lyon. He appears more confident, plays freely, and most importantly, is enjoying his football again.
After the Rennes match, he said, "It's like I always say. If I'm meant to stay here, if I'm meant to return to Real Madrid, if I'm meant to go somewhere else, I'll do what God tells me. What God tells my wife." He added, "I thank God for bringing me here, I'm very happy to be here. But that's it, I'll do what God tells me to do, what God puts in my wife's head to do."
Family and faith at the forefront
His wife, Gabriely Miranda, has clearly been a strong support in his life. The couple married in September 2024, less than a year after meeting. Recently, they also announced they are expecting their first child. Their relationship has been discussed due to their "relationship contract," which reportedly includes rules like avoiding bad habits, respecting each other, and always saying "I love you." There were also some unusual rules, such as not interacting with other women on social media.
For Endrick, however, the focus remains on football. He said, "Coming to Lyon was one of my best choices… I came to a team that welcomed me." He also believes this form could help him reach the World Cup, crediting Lyon for his growth.
Right now, his future is still open. But one thing is clear: his decisions will not be solely about football. They will also come from faith, family, and trust.
