Gonzalo García Set for New Real Madrid Deal After Club World Cup Heroics

Real Madrid almost have a contract extension ready for young striker Gonzalo García. He will probably stay with them after a great summer. He also wants to wear the famous number 9 shirt.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The forward, who is 21 years old, is about to sign a new contract with Real Madrid. This decision comes after he shone at the FIFA Club World Cup. García finished as the top scorer there, with four goals and one assist in five matches. He showed how good he is when stars like Kylian Mbappé were not playing. García was impressive right from the start and won the tournament’s Golden Boot. Real Madrid’s managers and leaders think highly of him. They want him to be part of the senior squad for the new season. The season starts with a game against Osasuna on August 19.

GARCÍA’S RISE AND SEASON SO FAR

Gonzalo García has so far played 12 matches for Real Madrid. During that time, he has scored five goals and made two assists. Before playing so well at the Club World Cup, he was seen as a promising player from the academy. Now, he is an important part of the squad. The new contract will keep him at the club, extending his deal beyond 2027. He will get a big raise and a bigger role in the team. He will fight for the lead striker’s spot under head coach Xabi Alonso. Alonso wants to build a strong future.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR REAL MADRID AND GARCÍA?

Real Madrid will start their La Liga campaign at home with Osasuna on August 19. The team has new management and wants to be the best in Spanish football again. They finished second last season. Osasuna, who will be their first opponent, was ranked 9th last year, and didn’t get to Europe because of their head to head results against Rayo Vallecano, who qualified for the Conference League. People will watch García’s performance closely. He will have to fight with big names like Mbappé and Rodrygo for playing time. Real Madrid’s trust in García shows with the new contract and plan to give him the number 9 shirt in the future. They hope he will be a big part of the attack.
