The LaLiga team requesting Endrick's loan after Real Sociedad's K.O.

One of the biggest unknowns for Real Madrid and Madridists is whether Endrick will stay with the club. Clearly, this is due to the competition the young player could face from both Gonzalo and Mbappé in the squad. For this reason, what Defensa Central has learned is that Rayo Vallecano has shown interest in signing the Brazilian.

With this, we could see one of the most surprising departures from the club given what this player represents. However, at 19 years old, he still has a long way to go at the best team in the world. It wouldn't be a permanent transfer, but rather a loan that would help him develop better in European soccer and, mainly, in Spain.

They want him in Vallecas

This player has been a considerable investment by the board, with his arrival made official last summer. The few minutes he played under Ancelotti weren't enough to see an improvement in his game. However, they did make it clear that he has the physique and potential to maximize them with a coach who can make better use of him.

Xabi could be that coach, but with the trust he has shown in Gonzalo at the Club World Cup, everything is getting complicated for number 16. Less than 850 minutes played last season were enough for him to score 7 goals. This is what has caught Rayo's attention, as they see him as a great asset for their immediate project.

Florentino, aiming to get the best out of his players, could view this departure favorably and what it entails. Moreover, if he manages to shine with consistent minutes, he could be a great recall next summer. Although nothing has been decided yet and despite the interest from the Madrid club, they might not let him leave after all.

It will depend on Alonso

What is clear is that this is neither defined nor ruled out, where Xabi will surely play an important role. If the coach sees him as a useful asset, then his continuity will be considered. Otherwise, his departure could be almost certain.
