Gonzalo García Signs New Real Madrid Contract Until 2030

Real Madrid have secured rising star Gonzalo García’s future with a new contract until June 2030. The club confirmed the striker’s extension after his standout performances in 2025 highlighted his potential to be a key player for head coach Xabi Alonso’s senior squad.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Gonzalo García has signed a five-year contract extension with Real Madrid. The 21-year-old striker joined the club’s youth academy in 2014 and was promoted to the first team by Xabi Alonso. García impressed as the top scorer at the inaugural Club World Cup, scoring four goals and providing one assist, as reported by a recent article. His goals helped Real Madrid reach the semi finals without Mbappe, who was injured. He was also named in FIFA’s team of the tournament and will be part of Real Madrid’s first-team squad for the new season.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

Real Madrid secured García’s future in August by extending his contract until 2030. The club is willing to let him leave on loan in January only if they receive offers for a temporary move to another top-flight club. García was promoted to the senior squad in the middle of last season after impressing as a standout performer at the 2025 Club World Cup. Since his promotion, he has played 12 matches, scoring five goals and making two assists, a statistic that underscores his burgeoning talent.

WHAT NEXT?

García joined the club’s youth system in 2014 and was a regular for Real Madrid Castilla in the 2024-25 season before the Club World Cup. Real Madrid starts their league campaign against Osasuna as they aim to improve on last season’s 2nd place finish behind Barcelona.
