Real Madrid holds an unexpected dilemma this summer, with the explosion of Gonzalo Garcia Torres at the Club World Cup. The Castilla attacker was used as a stop gap in the absence of Kylian Mbappe, but has made a serious argument to stay in the senior team, with his four goals that placed him at the top of the score cards.
Garcia, 21, was originally set for an exit this summer, where Los Blancos was looking for a deal of € 5-10 million with a sale of 50%. However, the interest in him has changed this summer from the back of his versions under Xabi Alonso. Chelsea is said to pay no less than € 40 million for him, while El Chiringuito says that no fewer than 10 clubs have had contact with his agents with offers from the Premier League, Serie A and Spain. His release clause is € 50 million.
Alonso has publicly noted that Real Madrid has not made a decision about where Garcia's future lies, and Cadena Ser confirms that idea. However, the club believes that Garcia, Endrick Felipe and Kylian Mbappe are a too many nines for the team next season, even if Los Blancos will probably play with two or three attacks.
The feeling at the club, however, is that the exit that makes sense is Endrick. The Brazilian, who currently recovered from injuries, flew to the United States to talk to the club about his future in the midst of doubts about his role. Although they will not force anyone, they believe that a loan movement for Endrick might be the best way to act, where Garcia stays in the senior team.
That feeling is informed by the fact that Garcia has understood exactly and appropriately what Alonso demands from his attackers, while Endrick may not be such a natural fit. The 18-year-old arrived last summer in a deal that could rise to € 60 million, but struggled for consistency, despite flashes of sparkle. It is also worth noting that he also has to take advantage of the arrival of Alonso.
