Real Madrid is on fire at the FIFA World Cup. So far, it has played 5 matches, winning four of them and drawing one. The performance has been so positive that it has already reached the semifinals of the championship. After the latest victory against Borussia Dortmund, Edu Aguirre spoke on El Chiringuito, revealing ten offers for one of Xabi Alonso's stars.
10 offers arrive at Real Madrid
Speaking from the United States, Edu Aguirre delivered a surprise. The El Chiringuito contributor was clear: "Gonzalo García has received 10 offers: Premier League, Italy, and half of Spain. They tell me this literally."
The reality is that Gonzalo García's performance in this tournament hasn't gone unnoticed. At 21 years old, he has taken advantage of Xabi Alonso's opportunity due to the problems Mbappé has had. In these five matches as a starter, he has scored four goals and provided one assist. He is the tournament's top scorer and is attracting interest from across Europe.
He has done so well that he has convinced the man from Tolosa to keep him, turning down the ten offers on the table. The Madrid native knows from his coach that he wants him to stay for next season. He considers him the ideal backup for Mbappé and believes he can be important throughout the campaign.
Gonzalo García: The killer from La Fábrica
Even though, at times, it seemed he was out, the reality is that Gonzalo García has earned his continuity with strong performances. The trust is absolute and the decision has already been made: he won't leave. If anyone wants him, they'll first have to convince the academy graduate and then pay his €50 million clause.
With all this in mind, the plan is to negotiate his contract renewal with a first-team spot when he returns from the United States. He is considered a generational goalscorer at Real Madrid and is exactly the profile Xabi was asking for. He is the typical "9" who comes on quickly and changes the game. He has the qualities that fit and wants him to stay.
This has a collateral effect: if Gonzalo García stays as expected, the one who will have to leave is Endrick. He has overtaken him and at Real Madrid everyone is now on the same page: maximum trust in the academy graduate.
