The latest news from Real Madrid places Gonzalo García, a 22-year-old forward, as Fulham's top priority to strengthen their attack this summer. The English club is preparing a significant offer at the request of Álvaro Arbeloa, although the amount they will put on the table has not yet been disclosed.

The interest comes at a decisive moment for the striker's future. García is under contract with Real Madrid until June 30, 2030, so any definitive departure will require the approval of the white club and a proposal in line with his sporting valuation.

Fulham makes Gonzalo García its priority

Fulham has placed the signing of Gonzalo García ahead of other options for the forward position. Arbeloa knows the player from their time at Real Madrid and believes he can adapt to the demands of their new project in the Premier League.

The presence of the Spanish coach is one of the main arguments of the London club. García needs continuity to establish himself in the elite, while in England, he would have the opportunity to assume a more prominent role than the one he can currently find at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The forward played 39 matches, scored 8 goals, and provided 2 assists with the first team of Madrid, according to statistics collected by the club. His participation reached 1,470 minutes, a record that reflects that a significant part of his appearances were not as a starter.

His performance also increased his value. García's market value is around 30 million euros, a reference point that will influence the negotiations if the English team presents a transfer proposal.

Real Madrid must decide on the operation's format

Real Madrid is not contractually obligated to part ways with the forward. García renewed in August 2025 until 2030 and was integrated into the first team, a decision made following his sporting growth and performances with the first team.

The duration of the contract allows the club to control the conditions. Additionally, his contract includes a release clause of 1 billion euros, a figure designed to prevent the player from leaving the club unilaterally.

Therefore, the central aspect of the negotiation will be the chosen format. Fulham may propose a transfer, a loan, or a formula that includes future options, but the provided context suggests a significant financial offer and not solely a loan without consideration.

The white team must also assess the available space in their attack. The decision will depend on the final squad planning, the number of forwards who remain, and the opportunities the coaching staff can provide during the season.

Arbeloa aims to leverage his knowledge of the player to persuade both García and Real Madrid. Reports from recent days indicate the London club working on the operation, although there is currently no information on an agreement between the parties.

The next move lies with Fulham, which must turn its interest into a formal proposal. When the offer arrives, Real Madrid will decide whether to open the door to García's departure, negotiate a loan with conditions, or keep the forward in their squad for the 2026/2027 season.
