Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Garcia targeted by three major Premier League clubs
Rising striker draws attention from England, but the 21-year-old has no plans to leave Los Blancos
Gonzalo García has been one of Real Madrid’s breakout stars at the FIFA Club World Cup and now, his performances are turning heads across Europe. According to Spanish outlet AS, three top Premier League clubs have made initial contact to explore a move for the 21-year-old striker.
€50M Clause Attracts Premier League Interest
The English clubs whose names have not yet been disclosed are reportedly studying García’s contract situation and exploring the feasibility of a €50 million release clause. The inquiries so far have been described as “preliminary,” but interest is growing quickly.
While no formal bids have been made, García’s emergence as a reliable attacking force has made him one of the most watched young forwards of the tournament.
Gonzalo García Wants to Stay at Real Madrid
Despite the buzz, Gonzalo García has no interest in leaving Madrid at this stage. The young striker, under contract until June 2027, has told those close to him that his dream is to become a starter at the Bernabéu and impress coach Xabi Alonso.
Real Madrid’s board is expected to open talks for a contract extension after the Club World Cup wraps up, aiming to secure his long-term future amid growing interest.
A Future Club Legend in the Making?
Gonzalo has drawn comparisons to club legend Raúl, not only for his left-footed finesse but also his mentality. In the current Club World Cup, he’s already bagged two goals and an assist, impressing fans and analysts alike with his:
- Explosiveness in attack
- Finishing precision
- Intelligent pressing and positioning
- Versatility across the front line
He has been a critical piece of Xabi Alonso’s attack while Kylian Mbappé recovers from illness.
The Road Ahead: Mbappé & Endrick to Compete for Spots
Even as García rises, the competition is fierce. Mbappé is expected to reclaim his spot soon, and with Endrick joining full-time next season, Real Madrid’s front line is getting increasingly crowded.
Still, sources close to the club say Gonzalo is seen as a long-term asset, with the potential to become a consistent starter especially if he continues his World Cup-level form in La Liga and the Champions League.
