Fulham agree €50m double deal for Real Madrid pair Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios | OneFootball

According to Hounslow Herald, Fulham have agreed deals worth €50m to sign Real Madrid pair Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios.

The London club will pay an initial €40m for striker Garcia and €10m for attacking midfielder Palacios, with Madrid retaining a 30% sell-on clause in both.

The duo are expected to reunite with Alvaro Arbeloa, who previously worked with them in Real Madrid's academy.

Garcia, 22, broke into Madrid's first team last season and attracted interest from several clubs. He made 39 senior appearances, scoring eight goals, including a hat-trick against Real Betis. He also won the Club World Cup Golden Boot last summer with four goals.

Palacios, 21, made seven first-team appearances in 2025-26, five in La Liga, after making his senior debut in January.

The signings would provide Fulham with fresh attacking options following the departures of Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez, who left as free agents to Leeds United and Wolves respectively.

Garcia and Palacios are set to become Fulham's first major arrivals of the window, joining Swedish forward Jonah Kusi-Asare, whose move from Bayern Munich was made permanent after a loan spell at Craven Cottage.

Arbeloa took charge of Fulham this summer on a three-year contract after succeeding Marco Silva, who departed for Benfica. Jose Mourinho replaced Arbeloa at Madrid.
