Real Madrid begin contract renewal process for breakout sensation | OneFootball

Real Madrid are currently in discussions to renew the contract of young striker Gonzalo Garcia, according to a recent report from AS.

The 21-year-old forward has emerged as one of the most exciting prospects at the club, but his future remains uncertain due to the intense competition in Real Madrid’s attack.

Gonzalo’s current deal runs until 2027, yet his representatives are already negotiating an extension with the club.

Despite this, the striker is attracting plenty of attention from outside Spain, especially from Premier League clubs who are monitoring his situation closely.

Several English sides have already sent offers, hoping to tempt the youngster away from Madrid.

A loan move likely

Gonzalo made headlines earlier this year with his standout performances at the FIFA Club World Cup. He finished the tournament as Real Madrid’s top scorer, netting four goals and providing one assist in just six matches.

His strong display on the global stage has opened new doors for his career, but it has also created complications regarding his place in the team.

With Real Madrid’s forward line already full of world-class players, opportunities for regular game time in the 2025/26 season look slim for the youngster.

This is why a loan move is now being seriously considered. Getafe are currently the front-runners for his services, with their president, Angel Torres, making it clear that bringing Gonzalo to the club is a top priority.

Decision after pre-season

Interestingly, Getafe are not the only club interested. Premier League sides have also shown significant interest, further complicating the decision for both Gonzalo and Real Madrid.

The striker’s representatives were reportedly caught off guard by the sudden spike in demand, particularly after his success at the Club World Cup.

For now, Xabi Alonso plans to wait until the end of pre-season before making a final call on Gonzalo’s immediate future.

Whether it ends in a contract renewal, a loan move to Getafe, or a transfer abroad, one thing is clear that Gonzalo is a player in high demand, and his next step will be crucial for his career development.
