Luis Enrique dreams of Xabi Alonso's first cut, from Bernabéu to PSG, anything's possible

Since Kylian Mbappé's signing, relations between Real Madrid and PSG are going through their most tense moment. Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Florentino Pérez barely speak to each other, and the rivalry between them has become personal. Even so, soccer keeps showing that even in the midst of conflicts, unexpected deals can arise.

Real Madrid enjoys one of the most complete squads in the world, built under the meticulous eye of Xabi Alonso. Meanwhile, Luis Enrique has shown that he is capable of competing at the highest level with a less high-profile but very well-drilled team. Both coaches keep different styles, but they share an ambition that puts them in the spotlight of European soccer.

Luis Enrique looks to strengthen PSG's attack with a Real Madrid player

The Asturian coach wants to take another step forward at PSG and strengthen his attacking line before the summer transfer window. During the last transfer period, he already tried to bring in Rodrygo, but Real Madrid flatly refused to negotiate. Now, Luis Enrique is once again looking toward Bernabéu, where one name stands out above the rest: Endrick, Xabi Alonso's first major discard.

Endrick, who arrived at Real Madrid as one of the greatest prospects in Brazilian soccer, is going through a difficult time. He hasn't played a single official minute this season, and his role in the team seems to have disappeared. Mbappé monopolizes the forward line and Gonzalo García takes advantage of rotation minutes, which leaves the youngster without any prominence.

PSG as an opportunity for Endrick

Given this situation, the PSG option appears as an opportunity that could reactivate Endrick's career. Luis Enrique is looking for a striker to complement Gonçalo Ramos and provide depth in attack, something the Brazilian can offer. The Spanish coach trusts that a competitive and less pressured environment could bring out the best of his talent.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will have to assess whether it is in their interest to let go of a footballer who still has room to develop. Florentino Pérez has always been in favor of taking care of young talent, but the lack of minutes is a real obstacle. In Paris, Endrick could find the continuity that Xabi Alonso isn't giving him at Bernabéu.

The story between Real Madrid and PSG keeps being written with unexpected twists, and Endrick's could be the next one. Luis Enrique is willing to insist on signing the player he considers ideal to complete his attack. Although the institutional tension between the clubs remains, in modern soccer, anything is possible, even a transfer between declared enemies.
