Endrick remains the future
In everyday life A.S. this Saturday we can read that Real Madrid made a big decision regarding Endrick. Even if the Brazilian nugget recruited at a high price by Casa Blanca is having an irregular season with Palmeiras (8 goals and an assist), the initial plan is still in force: to incorporate him into the first team from July. Madrid scouts consider that he is stagnating because he lacks sufficient playing time, he lacks opportunities. In 2023, for the 42 matches in which he participated, he only started in 19 of them. Madrid’s leaders are therefore certain that the future of world football remains in the number 9 position.
XXL transfer window for Barça
According to Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona has already prepared its major transfer window plan for 2024. As we can see on the first page of the newspaper, Xavi is looking for two full-backs, a defensive midfielder and finally a side attacker. The Catalan coach would very much like to keep Cancelo, but he is on loan from Manchester City and his future is uncertain. Álex Valle is also appreciated by the Barcelona board. Xavi wants a man to compete with Oriol Romeu, the player dreamed of by the Catalans is named Joshua Kimmich. But be careful, according to Sport, Barça would have an advantageous, exclusive price for Bruno Guimaraes. Unlike other European teams, the Spanish club should only pay 70 million for the midfielder. Finally, Barça hopes to be able to keep Joao Felix, who performs with the Blaugrana jersey. Atlético will not let him leave for less than 80 million euros.
Haaland under pressure
The Spanish press is putting a lot of pressure on Erling Haaland for the Norway-Spain clash tomorrow evening. If the Norwegians do not beat the Spaniards, they are almost eliminated from the competition. After the match in Cyprus, he surprised everyone with a statement that referred to the fact that he was a little tired of hearing his name shouted in all the stadiums, even the opposing ones, of being on everyone’s lips. “Sometimes it’s a little stressful and I start to get a little tired. I appreciate the support, so I won’t complain“, he declared. The pressure is therefore eating away at him for Marca. But the Scandinavians are counting on him, as theAftenposten “the giant must take down a giant“. For the Norwegian media, City’s serial scorer is the player who can put his selection back at the top of the bill. Same story on the side of Dagbladet who insists on the fact that “failure tomorrow is not possible with Haaland“.
