Real Madrid are reportedly in contract renewal talks with their Club World Cup breakout star.
Real Madrid maintained a five-match undefeated streak in the Club World Cup prior to their loss against Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals.
While the elimination from the competition was disheartening for Los Blancos, the Club World Cup gave Xabi Alonso a good chance to analyse his squad after taking charge as head coach at the beginning of June.
One of Real Madrid's wonders in the Club World Cup was undoubtedly their breakout star, Gonzalo Garcia, who turned heads with his performances in the competition, recording four goals and one assist in six matches.
Following his excellent display for Real Madrid's B team, Garcia received his first call-up to their senior side in August 2023. Since then, the 21-year-old has made 12 appearances during which he netted five goals and provided two assists.
Now, Real Madrid are currently in talks to extend Garcia's current contract, which is valid until the summer of 2027, according to a recent report from Diario AS.
