At Real Madrid, the attack for the 2025/26 season is starting to take shape. With Kylian Mbappé as the main offensive figure and Vinicius solidified on the left flank, the outlook is starting to clear up... or at least it seems so. Rodrygo still doesn't have his future secured, although everything points to him continuing to be part of Xabi Alonso's plans. However, the focus is now on who will take on the role of the pure center forward.
Florentino Pérez already has it clear: this will be the player leaving Real Madrid.
Florentino Pérez has already made a decision. The club president is backing Endrick as the '9' for this season. He arrived from Palmeiras and after a rapid adaptation period, the young Brazilian excites the club, which hopes to soon recoup the investment and see him as the team's next great goal scorer.
The other name in question is Gonzalo García, who left a good impression in the most recent Club World Cup, showing personality, goals, and mobility in the minutes he played. Despite his good performance, his future seems to be moving away from the Bernabéu, at least for now.
The club offices favor the idea of sending him out on loan to gain experience. Even a sale with a buy-back option is not ruled out, a formula Madrid has used in the past with other academy players. Gonzalo has suitors and plenty of options: Sunderland, newly promoted to the Premier League, has already shown interest, and in LaLiga, Getafe under Bordalás is also closely watching him.
Florentino wants to avoid a logjam in the attack and give Endrick room to grow. That's why the future of Gonzalo could be resolved in the coming weeks. Everything indicates that he will leave in search of playing time, but with the possibility of a return if he fulfills expectations.
Planning is already underway for the 25/26 season. Madrid does not want to leave any loose ends.
