The best thing is for him to leave, Siro López's confession about a Real Madrid player

The signings Real Madrid made before the Club World Cup had the desired effect. With a more solid and compact squad, some players have been identified as possible departures. This has been the case for Endrick, with Siro López confessing: "The best thing for Endrick is for him to go out on loan."

The Brazilian striker hasn't been able to play a single minute in the World Cup due to an injury. During the last LaLiga match against Sevilla, Endrick suffered a hamstring injury, going through a long recovery process. Although Endrick returned to training on June 29, he isn't expected to play any minutes.

"...Gonzalo will have more opportunities than Endrick because he reads matches better," Siro López added to his remarks. Recognizing the great moment of Real Madrid's homegrown player, this is one of the reasons why Endrick's departure isn't unthinkable.

The change of situation

When he arrived at Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso made it clear that Endrick would be an important player for the team. Despite being 18 years old, Endrick showed his potential to be a key figure during the season. Although having Kylian Mbappé ahead of him was a real challenge, Endrick never appeared scared or worried about the French striker.

However, the emergence of Gonzalo García has completely changed Endrick's situation at Real Madrid. Siro López himself has praised the performance of the 21-year-old homegrown player, calling the young man a much more complete striker than Endrick.

With Xabi going so far as to compare Gonzalo to great Real Madrid legends, Endrick's future is uncertain. Since he has a contract until 2030 and considering the team's investment in his signing, a sale is completely ruled out.

The best thing for Endrick

Although Endrick could keep his place at Real Madrid to fight for minutes, this wouldn't be a good idea in Siro López's opinion. Having played less than 900 minutes during the season, Endrick needs a club where he can have continuity.
