On the occasion of the fourth matchday of LaLiga, Real Madrid has headed to San Sebastián to face Real Sociedad. It's always a tough match, and good relations have once again prevailed between both teams. In recent years, it's become common for the two clubs to do business with each other, something that could be repeated in the coming months. "Madrid-Barcelona" has learned that there's already a deal in progress that has Florentino Pérez's approval.
From Real Madrid To Anoeta
So far, he hasn't played a single minute due to injury and, at his young age, it's necessary for him to get some playing time. That's where Real Sociedad comes in, having shown interest in securing the loan of Endrick during the upcoming January transfer window. At first, Florentino has always been reluctant to let the Brazilian leave, his big bet in attack... but it's become clear to him that Xabi Alonso doesn't fully trust him.
In this regard, "Madrid-Barcelona" is in a position to state that Real Sociedad wants to take Endrick as soon as the transfer window opens. It's a deal that's being negotiated slowly, but that has the approval of all parties. It's not easy, because so far the Brazilian has been rejecting his departure from Santiago Bernabéu.
It's also not easy for one specific reason: Real Sociedad doesn't have much fair play margin, and Endrick's salary isn't exactly low. In any case, there's plenty of time and the agreement looks promising to move forward.
Endrick Needs To Leave
Xabi Alonso's arrival at Real Madrid has meant a significant change in the club's sporting plans. While some players have stepped up, others have become question marks. One of the most striking cases is Endrick, the Brazilian prospect who still hasn't been able to make his debut in the white jersey this season.
The 19-year-old forward is dealing with an injury that's prevented him from making his official debut this campaign.
Xabi Alonso Doesn't Fully Trust Him
Beyond his physical problems, Endrick's situation is complicated by Xabi Alonso's technical decisions. The coach from Tolosa doesn't fully trust him as an immediate resource for the first team. In his position, the "9" is more than secured with Kylian Mbappé, the main attacking reference for Real Madrid.
In addition, the young Gonzalo García, a Valdebebas academy product, has gained ground and is now ahead in the rotation. His strong performances in the Club World Cup and in training with Xabi Alonso have opened the door to more minutes, leaving Endrick in the background.
