Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has stated that decisions about the future of players in the team will only be taken after the World Cup of Club. With the rise of Gonzalo Garcia, the future of Endrick Felipe has questioned, while Rodrygo is also heavily connected to an exit.
Garcia has been one of the sensations of the tournament and scored three times and assisted in his four performances. As the interest in his signature grows, there has been a suggestion that he could be kept for the season. However, that would probably reduce the role of Endrick Felipe, who is currently out of injury.
Alonso was asked about the role of Endrick prior to the collision of Real Madrid with Borussia Dortmund. Endrick reportedly traveled to the US of his own will to discuss his future with the club.
“I count on all three. Endrick is recovering, but of course we are counting on him. We are not planning the team [for next year]Just looking for immediate performance. We will make decisions later. “
Alonso was complementary about whether Garcia had 'forced' the door to a place in the team, if not decisive.
“He is doing very well, the desire he shows is what we expected … and we are happy with him.”
In the meantime, Rodrygo remains heavily connected to a move to Arsenal. Alonso said he was talking to the Brazilian, who played only 23 minutes in the last three games.
“I am sure he can return to his best. I spoke to him yesterday, and he is in a positive state of mind, enthusiastic and ready for when he is needed.”
However, it is clear that there is a certain time pressure for Los Blancos, who goes on vacation after the club World Cup, and will have a little more than a month until the start of the season of La Liga. Alonso said that Real Madrid should have set movements.
“There is still time, but we have to plan ahead … We all need rest, training at Valdebebas, we will not put away a training camp; it will be with a lowered time frame, with decisions that have already been taken with the players.”
Van Los Blancos is expected to bring in link-back Alvaro Carreras after the World Cup club if they can agree with Benfica, but otherwise only one or two additives are considered. They will come into the function of the outputs, which currently seem just as relevant as the arrivals.
