The 21-year-old Gonzalo García made 6 appearances for Real Madrid in this summer’s Club World Cup, all as a starter, contributing 4 goals and 1 assist. This promising forward, who graduated from La Fábrica (Real Madrid’s youth academy), has won absolute trust from Xabi Alonso with his outstanding performances at the Club World Cup held in the United States. Not only did he show no fear of big occasions, but he also found the net multiple times in the tournament, ultimately claiming the Golden Boot award.
Although several clubs including Getafe had inquired about the possibility of loaning Gonzalo García, after internal meetings between the coaching staff and club management, Real Madrid has made a clear decision: Gonzalo García will stay with the first team and will not be sent out on loan.
It is reported that Gonzalo García once lived in Tigre, Argentina for two years due to his father’s work. It was there that he started his football career, taking his first steps at Club Santa Bárbara.
Even with the transfer window still open, Real Madrid has clearly stated that Gonzalo García’s position will not be affected by market movements. He will officially become part of the first-team 25-man squad for the 2025/26 season.
As understood, he will remain in Real Madrid’s first team and inherit the club’s iconic No. 9 jersey. The previous owner of Real Madrid’s No. 9 was Kylian Mbappé, and the French forward will switch to the No. 10 jersey for the new season.
