Brazilian sensation Endrick has sparked debate over Real Madrid’s transfer strategy after a dominant international performance while interim manager Alvaro Arbeloa secures the dressing room’s backing.
Endrick sent a powerful message to Real Madrid’s hierarchy following a decisive performance in Brazil’s 3-1 friendly win over Croatia.
Currently thriving on loan at Lyon, the teenager won a penalty and provided an assist, filling the void left by the injured Rodrygo.
His display highlighted the perceived “malpractice” of former manager Xabi Alonso, who struggled to integrate the phenom before his recent departure.
At the Bernabéu, interim manager Alvaro Arbeloa has reportedly won the locker room’s support to become the permanent head coach.
Despite a rocky start, Arbeloa has secured 13 wins in 17 matches, including a notable comeback against Atletico Madrid.
The squad’s preference could sway the board’s upcoming decision between Arbeloa and external candidates like Jurgen Klopp or Massimiliano Allegri this summer.
