Bayern on mission for star runaway Xabi Alonso
According to the latest rumors, Bayern Munich wants to reinforce the defense with inexpensive (or free like Marcos Senesi) grafts in order to channel efforts and resources for a big blow in attack. Vincent Kompany has asked Max Eberl for a quality footballer who can alternate with Harry Kane but who can also range across the entire attacking front.
Among the profiles that fit these characteristics perfectly is Endrick, a young star who escaped from Real Madrid in the winter to move to Olympique Lyon.
The Brazilian has hardly ever played with Xabi Alonso and at the beginning of January chose to move on a dry loan to the French club. The impact with Olympique Lyon was devastating: in the first 6 games he scored 5 goals and dished out an assist, showing everyone that he is still in great shape.
At the end of the season Endrick will return to Real Madrid (there are no options to buy him from Olympique Lyon) but it is not certain that he will stay with the Blancos: given the enormous competition in the offensive department, the champion could ask for a transfer to play with more continuity and, in this scenario, Bayern Munich would certainly make an attempt to bring the player to Germany.
Recently Endrick’s prosecutor spoke to Win Win this way: “He has been transferred on loan to Lyon for six months. The decision has already been made and Endrick will return to Real Madrid at the end of the season. There are no ambiguities or secrets about it: the agreement only provides for a loan with no option to buy, so he will be back. What will happen next season? I cannot predict that, but I can tell you that at the end of this season Endrick will be back as a Real Madrid” player.
Much, of course, will depend on who Real Madrid’s next coach will be: if the new coach decides to make room for Endrick by giving up other offensive elements, then the young Brazilian could stay. Currently the leading candidate to replace Alvaro Arbeloa next season is Unai Emery, currently in charge of Aston Villa.
