In what could be seen as an exciting development for Endrick, the club’s incoming manager, Xabi Alonso, has already mapped out a plan for the young Brazilian forward.

According to a recent report from Defensa Central, Alonso is keen to provide Endrick with more playing time next season and believes the 18-year-old can grow into a key figure for Los Blancos.

Despite a limited number of minutes this season, Alonso sees great potential in Endrick. In fact, the Spanish coach is ready to integrate the forward into the team more prominently but with a gradual approach.

Alonso’s plan for Endrick

The outlet mentions that while Endrick won’t be handed a starting role immediately, he will get ample opportunities to prove himself.

The plan is to give him playing time across multiple attacking positions, including as a center forward, a winger, or even as a second striker.

“He’ll play as a center forward, but also on the wing or even as a double striker alongside Mbappe.” This, according to the outlet, is Alonso’s plan for the young Brazilian.

Alonso’s vision for Endrick is clear: to help him improve, enhance his scoring ability, and contribute to Real Madrid’s attack in a variety of ways.

Not thinking of summer exit

It must be noted that Real Madrid have never entertained the idea of letting Endrick go this summer. He is loved by his teammates and feels comfortable in the squad, but like most young talents, he is eager for more playing time.

Thankfully, Alonso’s track record of rotating his squad ensures that Endrick will have opportunities to prove himself, but with patience, of course.

At just 18, Endrick’s dream of becoming a regular starter at a club like Real Madrid will take time. But with his potential and Alonso’s trust, it seems only a matter of time before he begins to make his mark on the first team.

For now, the young forward is focused on earning the coach’s trust and making the most of his opportunities as they come.
