After his brilliance in the 2025 Club World Cup, Gonzalo Garcia has become a fan favorite among Real Madrid fans, and Spanish media outlets are constantly confirming that his continued presence has become an unquestionable demand of coach Xabi Alonso.
But the surprise is that the 21-year-old striker has an agreement with another club, with Real Madrid’s approval. This was precisely before his remarkable performance in the World Cup, which was brought about by circumstances surrounding the deal, including the injuries to Endrick and Kylian Mbappé.
Getafe president Angel Torres revealed this agreement, confirming that it has been in place for about a month and a half. He told the media, “I have an agreement with Gonzalo. There was a commitment that he would join us if he didn’t continue with Real Madrid. This agreement has been in place for about a month and a half.”
He added, “We agreed on everything with Real Madrid and with his agent, but I understand what’s happening now with him and how things have changed, and the agreement could change.”
Torres’ statement confirms that this agreement is not binding or tied to signed contracts. Consequently, he and Real Madrid have the right to withdraw from it, which is expected given Spanish newspapers’ assertions that the club intends to keep him and loan Endrick.
Gonzalo Garcia scored four goals in the Club World Cup and subsequently confirmed that he wants to stay at Real Madrid and accept playing Joselu’s role as a backup striker at crucial times.
European media outlets have reported that several clubs in England, Germany, and Italy are interested in signing Garcia, suggesting that even if Real Madrid decides to let him go, they may consider a better destination than Getafe, especially if it allows him to play in European competitions.
