Real Madrid Stand Firm on Gonzalo García Amid Transfer Interest

Real Madrid will not loan or transfer rising striker Gonzalo García. They want him to stay for the new season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Gonzalo García, 21, has gained a lot of attention across Europe after a great year. He did well at the FIFA Club World Cup, scoring four goals and giving one assist in five games. According to a previous report, he finished as the top scorer of the FIFA Club World Cup. He played a key role in Real Madrid’s 3-2 quarter-final win over Borussia Dortmund, where he scored the first goal, raising his profile even more. Despite receiving up to 10 offers from top clubs in England, Italy, and Spain, Real Madrid have told all interested teams he is not for sale or loan. Coach Xabi Alonso is reportedly very pleased with García’s progress and considers him part of the senior squad for 2025-26.

WHY REAL MADRID VALUE GARCÍA

The club’s trust in García is based not only on his recent form but also on his potential to become a regular first-team player. Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a new contract to reward his progress, hoping to improve his salary, extend his deal beyond 2027, and secure his place among the club’s senior ranks. García’s performances were key to Real Madrid’s success in the Club World Cup. Last season, he transitioned from the academy to the first team, impressing in major competitions and providing key depth, especially during Kylian Mbappé’s absence. His performances have convinced the management and fans that he can be an important part of Real Madrid’s future.

WHAT LIES AHEAD

Real Madrid finished second in La Liga, just behind Barcelona, and is in the Club World Cup semifinals against PSG. They now want to continue this success with a younger squad under Xabi Alonso. García is expected to compete for playing time in attack alongside world stars like Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior. The club’s next game is a Club World Cup semifinal against PSG, and the winner will face either Chelsea or Palmeiras for a chance to lift the trophy. As Real Madrid try to defend their domestic and international titles, García will be closely watched as he competes for a regular starting spot.
