As the summer progresses, a key decision is becoming increasingly important at Valdebebas for the final composition of the squad: Endrick or Gonzalo García. Real Madrid are clear that they will not keep both in the first team next season. Only one of them will accompany Kylian Mbappé in the attacking department. There is no rush to free up places, but there is a clear sporting criterion: they do not want to hinder the development of two promising talents by overloading them in the same position, reports Diario AS.
Although he has yet to make his official debut for the Whites, the Brazilian has shown signs of great potential. However, his side have ruled out a loan move, which goes against the club's belief that a season of more minutes away from Chamartín would do him good. Since arriving from Palmeiras, he has been seen as a mid-term project and recent injuries have not helped him solidify his position.
On the other hand, Gonzalo García has exploded with strength and conviction. His excellent performance in the Club World Cup, where he scored against Champions League opponents, has positioned him as a real option. The board and technical staff, now under the direction of Xabi Alonso, value his maturity and efficiency in front of goal. The Premier League has shown interest, but the Madrid-born striker has only one goal: to triumph in the white shirt.
Meanwhile, the number "9" still remains a mystery. The shirt, left empty by Mbappé, symbolizes more than just a number. It will represent the final trust in one of these young talents. With the market nearing its end, the decision is approaching: Madrid will choose only one. The one who is chosen will have the big opportunity; the other will have to wait.
