There are many requests that are made to Florentino by Madridists regarding the squad. This is especially true during the transfer window when rumors start to circulate. However, there are also questions about the future of some footballers whose fate is yet to be decided.

This latter case is Gonzalo, who would be competing with Endrick for a spot in the squad. Ramón de Mon wanted to send his request to Florentino, and it is quite striking in this regard. He favors the continuity of the youth academy player, whom he sees as having a lot of potential.

He made this clear in a message he posted on his personal Twitter profile, where he was very direct. "Gonzalo staying at Real Madrid can only be seen in a positive light if you're a Madridist," he wrote. However, he made one more request to Florentino: "Hopefully, he won't be the only youth academy player to move up."

This is a full-fledged defense of La Fábrica and the emerging talent that exists right now. In fact, this summer there was speculation about the return of Nico Paz, which ultimately did not happen. That's why Ramón de Mon wanted to make that direct request to Florentino.

Several reasons raise excitement about Madrid's youth academy

In Madrid's youth academy, they have seen several reasons for excitement about the future. First, it was Raúl Asencio who broke through to become a starter in the first team. This season, he will already be fully integrated under Xabi Alonso's orders from the start.

Gonzalo is the next one who has managed to move up from Castilla to play and establish himself with the seniors. These are two examples that have been received with excitement and optimism in the reserve teams. This is the best example that, with hard work, one can play for Real Madrid in the First Division.

Xabi Alonso's arrival is also a reason for celebration at La Fábrica. First, because he is a coach who openly bets on young players. But also because he has a great relationship with Arbeloa and communication between teams will be very smooth.
