In the shadow of Madrid's big stars, a young hopeful has taken up residence at the heart of the project: Gonzalo García , 21, is gradually being elevated to the role of figurehead of an offensive revival at Real Madrid , to the point that the Spanish press is now referring to him as the most sought-after player in the next winter transfer window.
This Thursday, Marca reported that the Merengue management is already ready to be attacked from all sides for the Madrid native. Having been a member of the club since his teenage years, Gonzalo García has made his mark at Castilla, in the Spanish third division, where he has shown his goal-scoring prowess by scoring 25 goals during the 2024-2025 season.
Real Madrid wants to keep him
In recent months, the 1.82m-tall striker's rise to prominence has even taken a spectacular turn at the 2025 Club World Cup, where he scored four goals and provided an assist, becoming the tournament's top scorer. Although he was named in the competition's starting XI, the Casa Blanca's number 16 has since played a supporting role in the Madrid squad.
Barred by fierce competition, the player whose contract runs until June 2030 could therefore attract many covetous teams, ready to offer him a more important role. With a rising market value, currently estimated at €15 million according to the specialist site Transfermarkt, and a release clause of €1 billion, the Spaniard should therefore be a major player in the next transfer window for the Merengues.
To the point of imagining a departure? Nothing is less certain. As indicated by the Spanish daily, Gonzalo García has the full confidence of his coach Xabi Alonso, fully aware of his qualities and considered a key element in the depth of the Madrid squad. "My only option has always been to stay at Real Madrid, I have absolutely no regrets about my decision ," the main person concerned had also indicated during his extension. Europe knows what to expect.
