The jewel of the Real Madrid Youth Academy, which is currently shining at the Club World Cup in the United States with three brilliant versions against Al Hilal, Pachuca and Salzburg, has become the object of the wish for the Premier League Eliteclubs.
Gonzalo García, only 21 years old, has attracted the attention of the most powerful and financially strongest teams in the competition with its impressive displays so far in the tournament.
According to AS, three Top Premier League clubs have contacted the representatives of Gonzalo to explore the opportunity to sign him this summer. For now, these are only exploratory conversations aimed at understanding the contractual situation of the young person – one that is very tempting for his voorags. Gonzalo has left for two more years to his contract with Real Madrid, but his buyout clause is a bargain according to Premier League standards: only $ 55 million.
Gonzalo's most important desire is to be part of the first team of Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso and to succeed in the club that he has always dreamed of. He strives to be the first player of the Youth Academy who settles firmly in the Bernabéu since Carvajal, Nacho and Lucas Vázquez, the most recent one who reaches that milestone. Although many compare him with Joselu, Gonzalo would prefer not to build his career in various European competitions, as the Galician striker did, and instead to break through in Madrid immediately.
The club plans to wait until after the club of Club to meet the representatives of Gonzalo and try to secure its future. However, it is crucial to remain vigilant, because the Premier League clubs press hard. Those three best English teams were clearly impressed by the width of his experience as a striker.
In the American tournament, Gonzalo has already scored two goals and offered an assist in his challenging role as a replacement for Mbappé. He has also demonstrated air power and impressive versatility, able to play in all three attacking positions. His ruthless prints when the opponent has (a feature Xabi Alonso very values) and his quality First-Touch to reveal that he is much more than just a goal scorer and Finisher. Even the resident of Tolosa has made comparisons between Gonzalo and a legend such as Raúl González, his coach at Castilla – where he previously developed considerably alongside Arbeloa in Juvenil A.
In two weeks, after the World Cup, we will finally learn what the future in store for Gonzalo has in store, especially because the club has to decide on the future of Endrick (De Brazilian will be July 19). If Endrick stays, Gonzalo's chances of regular playing time can decrease. A loan movement to win 35 to 40 games and to return more experienced by 2026 could be the ideal path for the young talent to be part of Real Madrid's plans.
For now we wait and watch. Gonzalo has already won the hearts of Real Madrid fans, and it is difficult to introduce you the future of the club without him.
