Price shock for BVB? What Real Madrid want for Garcia | OneFootball

Real Madrid and Gonzalo García are likely to part ways at the end of this season. The 22-year-old striker probably does not need to worry about his footballing future, however, as numerous top clubs have him on their radar.

Borussia Dortmund also appear to be keen on the Spain U21 international. BVB are even said to have already submitted an offer worth 30 million euros. Aston Villa and Newcastle United are among the interested clubs from the Premier League.

According to information from fichajes.net, Los Blancos have now put a price tag on García. Accordingly, Dortmund’s offer is nowhere near enough. Anyone wanting to sign the young attacking talent from Madrid will have to dig deep into their pockets. Real are demanding 60 million euros — double his market value. That hefty fee is likely based on his long-term contract until 2030 and his potential, even if his return in La Liga of four goals in 30 appearances still leaves room for improvement. One thing is clear: Dortmund’s offer does not come close to meeting Real’s expectations.

Endrick returns to Real

The young striker’s form improved sharply at the start of the season, especially under Xabi Alonso (44). Under his successor Álvaro Arbeloa (43), however, that progress stalled, prompting García to consider leaving Los Blancos. Especially since fellow striker Endrick (19) will return in the summer from his loan spell at Lyon. García’s profile remains highly intriguing nonetheless: he adapts to different systems at lightning speed and consistently causes problems inside the opposition penalty area.

The idea of loaning García out has also not been ruled out yet. According to the report, those in charge in the Spanish capital are leaning toward letting the 22-year-old leave only on a temporary basis. Madrid are now facing a fundamental question: cash in on his market value now, or patiently invest in the jewel’s development? Dortmund’s board will likely be watching closely.
