Florentino Pérez orders it after the classic: 'He should leave, it's for the best, he has no place'

The white president is certain that it is the best way for the young striker to make progress

The forward line at Real Madrid is experiencing one of the most competitive moments in recent years. With the arrival of new stars and the emergence of young talents, Xabi Alonso has such a wide range of options that it's very difficult to manage.

Among all the names, Endrick stands out as one of the silent protagonists in this scenario. The Brazilian was signed for more than €70 million and arrived in the capital with the label of a future star.

However, his role within the team has been affected by injuries and by the enormous competition he faces in the white locker room. The classic against Atlético has served as a turning point: Florentino Pérez believes there's no room for everyone in the attack.

Kylian Mbappé is untouchable

In this offensive puzzle, Florentino Pérez has his priorities clear. Kylian Mbappé is the most decisive player in the world in that position and his numbers prove it. Real Madrid's "10" will remain untouchable, both because of his media presence and his ability to decide matches.

Meanwhile, Gonzalo García's departure isn't being considered either. The Madrid youth academy product has managed to win over Xabi Alonso with his performance in the last Club World Cup and has earned a place in the first team. His commitment, his goals, and his ability to make the most of every minute make him an essential piece for both the present and the future.

That leaves Endrick as the main candidate to leave the club, even if only temporarily. The competition is fierce and Florentino believes the best thing is to find him a move in the winter transfer window.

Endrick's role under the microscope

Since his arrival, Endrick has had to deal with enormous pressure. His multi-million euro cost has caused excessive expectations, but the reality is that injuries have prevented him from having continuity. Last season, under Ancelotti, he barely enjoyed any prominence, and with Xabi Alonso the story threatens to repeat itself.

The Brazilian has barely had any minutes at the start of this campaign. With Mbappé and Gonzalo sharing the forward line, the door to securing a spot in the starting eleven seems practically closed. A loan appears to be an ideal opportunity to regain confidence, get more minutes, and return to Bernabéu better prepared.

A decision in Endrick's hands

Florentino Pérez has informed Xabi Alonso of his position on Endrick: "Let him go, it's the best thing, he has no place." The president himself believes that his progress depends on playing regularly for a team that offers him immediate prominence. The market won't be a problem, since Endrick is being followed by several European clubs and he won't lack offers.

The question is whether the forward will accept the proposal or decide to stay in Madrid to try to convince Xabi Alonso. What is clear is that the competition in the white forward line won't stop, and the decision Endrick makes will shape his immediate future.
