Real Madrid will reintegrate Endrick into their first team this summer, even if it comes at the expense of Franco Mastantuono and Goncalo Garcia.
The Brazil international is currently on loan at Lyon after failing to play much of a role under previous Los Blancos boss Xabi Alonso. Endrick had missed most of pre-season through injury, which meant that he was playing catch-up in the early stages of the season.
It was decided that he should go out on loan in January, and Lyon, who were lacking an out-and-out No.9, jumped at the chance to sign the 19-year-old for six months.

The in-demand striker, who has also been linked with Chelsea, started like a house on fire in France, scoring four goals in his first two Ligue 1 matches. Since then, however, the goals have dried up.
As a result, Endrick has faced some criticism in the French press. Despite this, Sport reports that Real Madrid are planning to bring him back this summer and to utilise him going forward.
Endrick to push out Mastantuono and Garcia
The Spanish publication claims that Real Madrid are happy with the Brazilian's development at Lyon and that he will be given the opportunity to show off his talents with the senior side next term.
This, though, is likely to come at the expense of Franco Mastantuono and Goncalo Garcia. Both have struggled for minutes recently and are expected to be pushed further to the fringes once Endrick returns.
Accordingly, Real Madrid are planning to repeat the Endrick trick with Mastantuono or potentially both. They are looking for a competitive loan destination for the Argentine wonderkid, similar to Lyon.
Garcia will also be given the opportunity to go out on loan, but there is also a chance that he will be sold with a buy-back clause, so that the Spanish giants would still control his future.
The 22-year-old, who bust onto the scene at the Club World Cup last summer, has no shortage of suitors who would be willing to sign him permanently this summer.
