The challenge? Neither Endrick nor Gonzalo is willing to leave. Gonzalo Garcia, who impressed during the Club World Cup, has clubs in England and Getafe circling, but the 19-year-old wants to fight for his place in Madrid and is even discussing a contract extension.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Endrick, despite being sidelined until September due to injury, has made it clear he refuses to be loaned out. He believes in his chances and is already training privately while on honeymoon to return in top shape. His camp has firmly rejected all transfer proposals.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid\u2019s staff, including manager Xabi Alonso, now face a tough decision: keep one, loan the other \u2014 or risk stunting the development of both. For now, the club is delaying its announcement on who will wear the iconic number 9 shirt as this internal competition intensifies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Lesotho<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
