Another striker wants to leave Real

Gonzalo Garcia was banished to the bench.

With Endrick set to join Lyon, young striker Gonzalo Garcia is said to have asked to leave if he is not guaranteed more playing time under coach Xabi Alonso.

Gonzalo, a product of Real Madrid's academy, has played just 108 minutes in nine games this season. Despite his impressive form at the Club World Cup, where he finished as the tournament's top scorer, the Spaniard feels undervalued and under-rewarded.

According to Fichajes , Gonzalo believes that the coaching staff have not kept their promises regarding his role in the first team.

After shining in the youth team, Real Madrid had absolute faith in Gonzalo Garcia's potential, even extending his contract until 2030. However, the crowded attack with many stars has forced the young striker to often sit on the bench. This makes him dissatisfied and afraid that the opportunity to be in the Spanish team for the 2026 World Cup is threatened.

Garcia is considering a loan or permanent move to find more regular playing time, while Real Madrid are forced to weigh up whether to keep a promising talent or allow him to leave to develop.

This situation exposes the contradiction between Real Madrid's long-term strategic vision and Xabi Alonso's strict requirements to maintain the strongest squad. Without appropriate steps, Real Madrid could lose another gem in January 2026.
