You bring the coffee and toast, we bring the five news stories that could shape football conversations on Tuesday, December 23, 2025.
Here are five of the most notable:
🇧🇷 Endrick leaves the golden cage
'L'Equipe' reports today that Olympique Lyonnais and Real Madrid have just agreed on a simple loan deal for Endrick for the next six months.
Let’s remember that Real Madrid paid Palmeiras 60 million euros for the 16-year-old striker in 2022. It was the biggest transfer in the history of the Brazilian league after Neymar, and although he has barely played this season, the anticipation in France for his arrival is remarkable.
OL will cover half of the player’s salary, estimated at over 400,000 euros gross per month, according to the French newspaper. They will also pay around one million for the loan, which does not include a purchase option. 📸 David Ramos - 2025 Getty Images
OL has been without a center forward since the sale of Mikautadze, so Endrick could find the minutes he needs in Lyon before the World Cup.
