Real Madrid: Gonzalo García will remain with the senior squad

The decision appears to be final: Gonzalo García will play with Real Madrid's first team this season.

After netting four goals at the 2025 Club World Cup, the academy-trained striker has convinced Xabi Alonso to keep him in the squad, despite interest from Getafe and several German clubs. Endrick’s recurring injury, sidelined since the end of last season, combined with Rodryg’s uncertain situation, has created an opening in Madrid’s attack.

Gonzalo could seize this opportunity to carve out a spot alongside Vinicius and Mbappé, either as a starter or in a super-sub role similar to Joselu. Real may have finally found the clinical striker they've been missing. Gonzalo will sign a professional contract with Los Blancos. Now, it’s up to him to let his goalscoring instincts do the talking.
