After a disappointing season in terms of both titles and performance, Xabi Alonso is determined to lead a revolution within the ranks of Real Madrid. The newly appointed coach brings with him a clear vision and strong ambition to restore Los Blancos to the summit of European football. His strategic plan focuses on rejuvenating the squad and enhancing both its technical quality and mental resilience. At this critical juncture, Alonso aims to rekindle the club’s glory days, where experience merges with youthful energy in a renewed journey toward the top.
According to the Spanish newspaper Don Balón, Xabi Alonso arrived at Real Madrid with firm ideas concerning several current players. Among them is Endrick, who failed to earn significant playing time during his debut season and found himself sidelined under Carlo Ancelotti. That situation has not improved despite the coaching change.

Endrick is among the least-used players this season. His development has stalled during his first year at the Santiago Bernabéu, making his future with the club increasingly uncertain. Reports suggest that Alonso plans to exclude the young Brazilian from his squad ahead of Real Madrid’s Club World Cup campaign.
Alonso reportedly believes that Endrick is not yet at the required level to represent Real Madrid. After observing him in early training sessions, the coach concluded that the player is not ready to compete for a place in the team. Consequently, he asked club president Florentino Pérez to find a solution during the summer transfer window—despite Pérez’s ongoing belief in Endrick’s potential and importance for the future.
Alonso has agreed to the idea of loaning Endrick to another club where he can play regularly and gain the experience he currently lacks—particularly since his natural position is occupied by Kylian Mbappé, one of the best players in the world. Even if Endrick performs at a high level in training, it is unlikely to alter the coach’s stance.
Ultimately, Endrick will need to make a decision regarding his future during the upcoming summer transfer window. He may face a repeat of the scenario he experienced under Ancelotti, prompting him to consider a move in search of regular first-team football and continued development elsewhere. Alternatively, he may choose to remain and attempt to convince Alonso that he deserves a place in the squad.
