Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has identified four players who could leave the club this summer, to make room for Florentino Pérez’s administration to bring in more new signings.
According to AS, Alonso no longer rules out the departure of Gonzalo Garcia, despite his impressive performance at the Club World Cup. He and some of the club’s administrators believe it is best for the player to continue playing next year and then return to the Santiago Bernabéu.
Garcia’s situation is primarily linked to that of Endrick, who is also on the list and Real Madrid is considering loaning him out. However, the Brazilian and his entourage are strongly committed to his continued presence. Alonso himself is considering using him as a right winger rather than a striker to provide some dynamism in the attacking line.
Therefore, the next month will be more intense in Madrid between Endrick and Garcia than any other duo, and coach Alonso will have the final say on who will stay and who will leave. Real Madrid absolutely refuses to let either player continue, as it would hinder any summer efforts and potentially delay their careers by keeping them on the bench for a long time.
The third and expected name is Rodrygo. Alonso is not convinced he is a good fit for his style, and this was clearly evident at the Club World Cup. However, in the end, Real Madrid will not pressure the player to leave and will give him the freedom to make his own decision, informing him that his chances of starting with the team next season will be slim.
Another surprise is that Alonso does not want Dani Ceballos and is open to his departure. This stems from his belief that Arda Güler is the new leader in midfield, while intending to rely directly on Argentine star Franco Mastrantuono, thus virtually closing the door on the Spanish player.
Spanish media reported that Ceballos did not want to leave Real Madrid, but if forced to do so, he would return to Real Betis and then consider any other offers.
Getafe’s president had previously announced that he had an agreement with Real Madrid and Gonzalo Garcia before the Club World Cup to sign the player on loan. However, things changed after the World Cup, and the door to the small Madrid club remains open to the 21-year-old.
