Real Madrid -look is set to hold Gonzalo Garcia Torres as their alternative for Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, but there remains some doubt about the future of Endrick Felipe. It seems that the Brazilian could also stay in the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, creating a debate around the now empty Real Madrid number nine shirt.
It was initially presented as a matter of Garcia or Endrick, with a probably road. Getafe is set to wait until the end of the transfer window in the event that Los Blancos Garcia is out to beat. Endrick was linked to a Serie A switch, but more recently it was said that he focuses on fighting for his place in Real Madrid.
However, that was not always the case. Cadena Cope says that this season and Endrick had been borrowing to give him more playing time to develop, and a deal was more or less agreed in July between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. Their information was that the 19-year-old was only a few days away from making the move, organized during the Club World Cup.
But just before the semi-final of Real Madrid with Paris Saint-Germain, Endrick suffered a relapse from his hamstring injury, after which the movement collapsed. Endrick wants to be back now for the end of September or October.
Los Blancos must now decide whether they want to leave Gonzalo instead, but it seems like Xabi Alonso looked forward to having him as an option. With Endrick possible until October, it can depend on whether Rodrygo Goes will be used in those two positions, or as an alternative when he leaves.
