Recent reports claim that Juventus have discussed several players with Real Madrid over the last few weeks, from Antonio Rudiger to David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga to Brahim Diaz and now Garcia appears to be the latest.

The 22-year-old centre-forward has scored seven goals from 34 outings in LaLiga, six of which came during the 2025-26 season. He has 13 from 51 across all competitions with Real Madrid.

Monday’s reports claim that he could be the ideal deputy to whoever is chosen as Juventus’s first-choice centre-forward next season, whether that be Dusan Vlahovic, Randal Kolo Muani or Jean-Philippe Mateta.

According to La Stampa, Juventus are hoping to secure a deal for Garcia in a similar fashion to how Como landed Nico Paz back in 2024. That is for a low upfront fee, but with a significant sell-on clause and a low-cost buy-back option in favour of the LaLiga giants.

Como secured a deal for Serie A midfielder of the year Nico Paz at a cost of just €6m, but Real Madrid are entitled to a 50% sell-on clause and have an option to bring the Argentina international back to the Bernabeu this summer for a cost of €9m, which will rise to €10m in 2027.
