Gonzalo is about to make a momentous decision and immediately tells Xabi about it

The Club World Cup brought very good news to the table, despite the embarrassment that occurred in the last match against PSG. One of these is clearly Gonzalo García, who was one of the most important players in the tournament and, so far, is still the top scorer. However, it seems that his future is still being discussed with the possibility of a departure, although he wants to stay.

According to what Defensa Central has learned, the final decision is only in the hands of the player and he will make a decision as soon as possible. Obviously, this will be through the different options he has for the season, and his top priority is to stay.

However, considering that it is a different process and that he could be pushed aside by the squad depth in the attacking sector, things are complicated. Even so, he will try to find a way to fit into Alonso's system, who seems to trust him quite a lot.

Gonzalo could stay

There is speculation about the possible departure of this player with the intention of both making money and giving him important minutes so he can develop his football. Looking ahead to the season, the possibility of seeing him play, at least on paper, seems difficult.

However, with Alonso's arrival, it is expected that some of the players who earn it through meritocracy could get many more minutes. This player showed, in addition to a very good attitude, a footballing level worthy of a Real Madrid that needs such a profile.

Although we know things are complicated, the reality is that both the option of his departure and the option of staying with the Whites are being considered. His four goals and one assist in this Club World Cup, in five matches, are expected to be crucial in determining whether he will be useful or not.

All that remains is to wait

Everything indicates that the most important thing now is to wait for all parties to do their job and for a final decision to be made regarding his future. Surely, many Madridists hope he can stay and take the place of those who do not run out of laziness.
