Real Madrid not considering sale

However, having previously rejected a €20 million offer from Sunderland, Real Madrid are not considering the sale of the Gonzalo Garcia at the moment.

His performances has been so impressive that he has gone from being a Castilla prospect to a serious candidate for a permanent place in the first-team squad next season.

In fact, the Merengues are now evaluating the idea of him competing directly with Endrick as a high-level alternative to Kylian Mbappe.

Moreover, Alonso has made it clear that Gonzalo is part of his plans. The Basque coach believes the player’s development has been rapid and that he has delivered in key moments.

As such, Real Madrid do not want to entertain the idea of his departure at this time.
