Real Madrid has already completed three signing sessions this summer and after the club World Cup more has to be arrived in the Santiago Bernabeu. There are plans for a new left-back to add to deals for Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Franco Mastantuono, while there are also rumors that a possible midfielder and striker are being sought.
It is believed that the latter a request from Alonso, who wants a different profile than Kylian Mbappe. Real Madrid struggled during the Domestic Season of 2024-25 without a Joselu Mato-like option, so there is speculation that a goal striker will be sought later in the summer.
But according to Joselu himself, it is not necessary for Real Madrid to sign someone because they already have the perfect profile. In conversation with Dazn, he made it clear that Gonzalo Garcia should stay with the first team next season.
“The search for a number nine should stop. In Gonzalo we found an incredible profile.”
Joselu's comments came after Gonzalo scored the only goal of the match in the victory of Real Madrid over Juventus in the club World Cup round of 16. The 21-year-old has registered three goals and one assist during the competition, which he has second in the Galactico for the Golden Boot).
Gonzalo had already been associated with a relocation of Real Madrid before the Club World Cup started, and the interest in his services has only increased in recent weeks. Club officials will make a decision to make later this summer: whether they want to keep him as a first team option or sell it while his shares are high.
For now, Real Madrid and Gonzalo are exclusively focused on the club World Cup, with their next match the quarter-final showdown on Saturday against Borussia Dortmund.
