The arrival of Gonzalo Garcia questions the future of Endrick Felipe, while Rodrygo Goes is also strongly expected to leave the club.
Garcia was one of the sensations of the tournament, scoring three goals and delivering assists during her four appearances. The interest in his growing signature, some evoke his maintenance for the season. However, this would probably reduce the role of Endrick Felipe, currently absent due to injury.
Xabi Alonso counts on Endrick and Gonzalo Garcia
Alonso was asked about the role of Endrick before the Real Madrid shock against Borussia Dortmund. Endrick would have gone to the United States of his own free will to discuss his future at the club.
“I count on them three. Endrick recovers, but we are counting of course on him. We do not prepare the workforce (for next year), we simply aim for immediate performance. We will make decisions later. »»
“Rodrygo can regain his best level in Real Madrid” – Alonso
As for knowing if Garcia had “Forced the door” To join the team, Alonso spoke:
“He is doing very well, the desire he displays is in accordance with our expectations … and we are satisfied with him. »»
In addition, Rodrygo is still strongly expected to join Arsenal. Alonso said he was in discussion with the Brazilian, who only played 23 minutes in the last three games.
“I'm sure he can find his best level. I spoke to him yesterday, and he is in a positive, enthusiastic state of mind and ready to intervene as soon as he will be needed. »»
Workforce planning for next season
It is clear that the Merengues are pressed by time: they will go on vacation after the Club World Cup and will only have a little more than a month before the start of the Liga. Alonso said Real Madrid needed to recruit.
“There is still time, but we must anticipate … We will all need rest, to train in Valdebebas. We will not do an internship outside; It will be over a reduced period, the decisions being already made with the players. ”
The Merengues should recruit the left side Alvaro Carreras after the Club World Cup if they reach an agreement with Benfica, but beyond, only one or two additional recruitments are envisaged. These will intervene according to departures, which seem as relevant as arrivals at this stage.
