Fabrizio Romano confirms it, Madrid protects Xabi's favorite at the World Cup.

The well-known journalist has made it clear that Real Madrid will not accept offers for its top scorer

Gonzalo García continues to make waves at Real Madrid. So much so that Fabrizio Romano has revealed in recent hours that the club won't accept any kind of offer for the player. They don't want him to be transferred, but they also won't carry out a loan to another club.

According to reports from the Italian journalist, Real Madrid has completely closed the door to any offer. The 21-year-old forward has attracted great interest from much of Europe after his outstanding performance in the Club World Cup held in the United States. However, Gonzalo García has the protection of Xabi Alonso, who reportedly asked Florentino Pérez to keep the footballer at the club.

Gonzalo García, the best news for Real Madrid

The emergence of Gonzalo García has been one of the tournament's most notable stories. The Spanish forward, who initially earned a starting spot by surprise in the absence of Kylian Mbappé, quickly showed that he belonged at the top level. In fact, he has scored four goals in the last five matches, starting in each of them.

His dynamism, finishing, and presence in every aspect have made him the revelation of the competition. Xabi Alonso knows his protégé has to keep working, but he's aware that he has a true gem on his hands.

Even with Kylian Mbappé's return, with the Frenchman back in top form, Xabi Alonso is prioritizing Gonzalo García's development. Against Dortmund, the coach didn't want to break his forward's scoring streak, and the footballer replied with another goal in the 10th minute.

Endrick, the biggest victim of Gonzalo's great moment

Meanwhile, Endrick continues to recover alongside the rest of his teammates in the United States. However, the Brazilian is closely watching the rise of Gonzalo García, who could win the starting spot for next season. 

Meanwhile, Endrick has already made it clear that he doesn't want to be transferred or loaned from Real Madrid, although his goal is to play in the World Cup. This way, the Brazilian will have to make a decision about his future sooner or later.
