It is one of the revelations of the Madrid summer. Taking advantage of the club World Cup and the American tour, Xabi Alonso was able to observe Gonzalo Garcia, a young striker from Castilla, closely. The 21 -year -old Spaniard, unknown to the general public a few weeks ago, took the opportunity to make a name for himself.
Aligned several times, Garcia shone on the other side of the Atlantic with four goals and a decisive pass in just six games. Services that convinced the staff and seduces the supporters, seeing in him a credible option to energize the Madrid attack. The former Bayer Leverkusen coach, now on the Real bench, sees in him an additional offensive solution.
According to information fromASthe management of Real Madrid was quick to react. Florentino Pérez has validated the extension of the Spanish international U19 contract, which already counts ten selections. Initially linked to the club until 2027, with a release clause set at 30 million euros, Garcia should now be engaged until 2030.
Equal Vinicius junior
Still according to the Spanish press, this extension is accompanied by a major change: the player's release clause was brought to one billion euros, like those of the largest stars of the club as Vinicius Jr. This deterrent amount aims to rule out any competition, testifying to Madrid's confidence in his young talent and his desire to protect him in the face of European lusts.
It remains a detail to be paid: the choice of number. The 9 is vacant since Kylian Mbappé opted for the legendary number 10, and
could well return to Gonzalo Garcia. Anyway, Xabi Alonso has a new offensive weapon for the coming season.
