Gonzalo García has had more prominence than he expected in Real Madrid this season, largely due to his great performance at Castilla. At 21 years old, he is the top scorer of La Fábrica, with records of 24 goals and 4 assists in 35 matches. In fact, one more goal should be added, belonging to his debut with the white team in the Copa del Rey: key to securing the victory.
These figures have sparked the interest of several clubs in Spain, interested in acquiring Gonzalo García. In the last few hours, Relevo has revealed that Celta de Vigo is closely following his development, having him on their list to strengthen their forward line next season. The Galicians need to strengthen their attack, and Gonzalo's name fits perfectly into their market strategy.
Florentino agrees: 2 conditions for Gonzalo García
In Real Madrid they consider that Gonzalo García has a great future ahead and will only leave because he doesn't have a spot on the first team. Precisely the forward position is the most reinforced in the squad, and this forces the youth player to seek a new destination. He is aiming for Celta, with whom relations are very good, as shown by previous operations in the white academy like those of Baeza or Dotor.
But to accept his departure, Florentino Pérez sets conditions. These are clear, as they are related to his transfer. First, he doesn't accept selling more than 50% of his rights, trying to keep half for a future sale or to recover him in case he excels as a professional. The other is his price: he won't let him leave for less than 5 million euros.
There is a fight for Gonzalo García
Despite the fact that, right now, Celta seems the best positioned, they are not the only ones in the race for the youth player from Real Madrid.
Half of Spain wants to take Gonzalo García, in addition to other clubs from Germany or even England. The forward will take his time to decide, understanding that it is a key decision for the future of his career. In any case, what is clear is that he won't continue another season at Madrid, opting for his departure from Valdebebas.
