In an unexpected move, coach Xabi Alonso has made a crucial decision regarding the future of one of Real Madrid’s key players. The relationship between him and the player has deteriorated sharply in recent weeks, putting the latter’s future in jeopardy. According to media reports, the player is likely to face a lengthy absence from the starting lineup and may not have a place in the team after next January.
Andrique, the young Brazilian player on whom much was expected following Alonso’s arrival, finds himself in an unexpected predicament after the new coach took over. With Carlo Ancelotti’s departure, everyone believed that Andrique would benefit from the anticipated change in playing style, especially given Alonso’s proven track record of developing young players. However, things have turned out differently.

Despite injuries that sidelined Andrique for the Club World Cup and the start of the season, his return to the pitch has not gone as he had hoped. He has found himself out of the starting lineup, and even out of the substitutes’ options. His lack of confidence in his abilities led him to act in what some considered an unprofessional manner during a match against Getafe, when he kicked a water bottle after learning he wouldn’t be playing. This angered Alonso, who decided to punish him by not giving him another chance.
Things seem to have reached a dead end for Andrique, with expectations that he will leave Real Madrid in the winter transfer window. The young player, who has received several offers, is now planning to leave in January, as his future at the Santiago Bernabéu appears to have come to an end.
Andrique, who joined the team from Palmeiras, will now look for a new opportunity elsewhere, with his next destination expected to be one of the major clubs that have been closely monitoring him. With no chance of regular playing time in Madrid, the door seems open for him to move to a club that guarantees him more playing time.
