Borussia Dortmund is reportedly preparing a €30 million offer to sign Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Garcia in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to Spanish outlet AS, the German club sees the 22-year-old as the ideal successor to their current attacking stars.
Gonzalo Garcia’s Departure from Real Madrid “Inevitable”
The exit of the young Spaniard from the Santiago Bernabéu seems to be only a matter of time. Garcia has fallen out of favor with coach Alvaro Arbeloa, and the club’s management prefers to prioritize the return and development of Endrick over keeping the 22-year-old in the squad.
Despite strong interest from Stuttgart in January and previous links to Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez blocked any winter move. However, the club’s stance has shifted. Real Madrid is now willing to listen to offers, provided they can include a buy-back clause, similar to the deal that sent Nico Paz to Como.

The Perfect Fit for the Bundesliga
Borussia Dortmund is searching for a new clinical finisher as Serhou Guirassy nears a departure. The German giants believe Garcia’s style is perfectly suited for the Bundesliga, following the successful paths of former Spanish strikers like Paco Alcácer and Joselu.
Why Dortmund Wants Garcia:
- Proven Potential: Impressive performances during the FIFA Club World Cup.
- Tactical Versatility: Able to lead the line or play as a secondary forward.
- Succession Planning: Seen as the primary candidate to fill the void at Signal Iduna Park.
Dortmund is hopeful that the €30m bid, combined with a buy-back option for Los Blancos, will be enough to secure the young talent.
Real Madrid Demands €60m for the Young Talent
Despite the strong relationship between the two clubs, Real Madrid is reportedly holding out for a much higher fee. Sources suggest the Spanish champions will not accept less than €60 million—double what Dortmund is currently prepared to offer.
While Garcia has seen limited playing time this season, the Real Madrid board believes his market value remains high, especially with potential interest looming from Premier League clubs who could easily meet the record asking price.
