The future of Endrick and Gonzalo García at Real Madrid seems to be intertwined. There has been much speculation about what will happen to both players, as they appear incompatible, but the former’s injury could change everything. Initially, there was talk of the possibility of loaning out the Brazilian, but the player refuses to leave and wants to fight for his place. On the other hand, the youth player has knocked on the door of the first team with his performance in the Club World Cup, which has attracted a lot of interest in the market. The decision on the striker is yet to be made, but it seems that for the time being, and given his teammate’s injury, he will stay at the Santiago Bernabéu, where he will have to continue proving himself.
Endrick and his injury
Endrick has no intention of changing scenery and wants to take on the challenge of competing for a spot in Real Madrid’s crowded attack. The young Brazilian player and those around him believe that the best thing for him is to continue wearing white, and Xabi Alonso is confident in the potential of a player whom he does not rule out converting to a forward. However, a relapse of his injury is delaying and complicating plans.
The Brazilian striker has suffered a relapse from his latest injury just as he was about to be given the all-clear to start pre-season training with his teammates in August. Endrick suffered a hamstring injury in May and rushed to be in Miami with the team during the World Cup, but he has suffered a relapse that will keep him out for another 8-10 weeks, which means he will not be available until late September or early October. As he returns to his best form, his return could be delayed a little longer, giving Gonzalo the opportunity to take advantage of his chance during the first half of the season.
Gonzalo and a place to earn
“In Real Madrid’s last training session in the United States during the Club World Cup, Endrick was injured and suffered a relapse. He won’t be able to play before September, and we’ll see if he could be back by the end of that month, when there’s a Madrid derby… But he wouldn’t come back to play from the start. We wouldn’t see the best Endrick until October, which is a setback in his development in his first year with Xabi Alonso. This could change the future of Gonzalo, who had options to go out on loan to Getafe,“ said journalist Antón Meana on El Larguero. ”Without Endrick until October, Gonzalo is likely to stay at Madrid for at least the first half of the season,” he added.
Although he had already earned Real Madrid’s consideration for a spot on the first team, Endrick’s competition and the multiple interests he has sparked in the market left the situation up in the air. Gonzalo García had an outstanding World Cup, becoming the tournament’s top scorer with four goals and one assist and earning a spot on FIFA’s ideal eleven.
This is a letter of introduction that is attracting attention in the market, but everything seems to indicate that the Whites will give him the opportunity to prove his worth and the decision has been postponed until next January. In this regard, Diario AS points out that his continuity would go further as his agent wants to negotiate a new contract with the club. The striker currently has a contract until 2027 and his agent is negotiating a new contract with the club that will secure his future. In addition to his salary, his release clause will also increase considerably. The player’s priority is Real Madrid and he wants to succeed in the first team.
