Real Madrid youngster sends message of intent to Xabi Alonso on first day of pre-season

Real Madrid starlet Endrick sent a clear message of intent the way of manager Xabi Alonso on Monday morning.

This came courtesy of an early arrival for training at Valdebebas.

Real Madrid’s first-team squad were this morning called back to Spain’s capital, to kickstart preparations for the new campaign.

Over the course of the morning, a whole host of familiar faces, in turn, were spotted arriving at Los Blancos’ training complex.

Beating all others to the post to report first for pre-season, at 7:50am, though, was young frontman Endrick.

Fresh off something of a hit-and-miss debut campaign in the colours of Real Madrid in 2024/25, Endrick is no doubt eager to carve out a more prominent role for himself over the term ahead.

And on Monday morning, the Brazilian made crystal clear his commitment to the cause, an act no doubt taken full note of by new boss Xabi Alonso and his staff.
