Real Madrid 22-year-old academy graduate expected to leave in the summer
Gonzalo Garcia was one of the breakout stars for Real Madrid at the FIFA Club World Cup last summer. The 22-year-old La Fabrica graduate finished as the joint top-scorer in the tournament with four goals to his name.
It earned him a spot in the first-team squad at the Santiago Bernabeu, along with a contract renewal until the summer of 2030.
However, regular minutes have been hard to come by for the young Spaniard during the course of the current season.
Gonzalo Garcia to leave in the summer
As such, Mario Cortegana of The Athletic reports that Garcia will leave Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
The Merengues have decided that it will be better for the academy product’s development to go out and play regularly to gain experience.
Therefore, Garcia is now expected to follow the same path as fellow academy talents such as Nico Paz, Jacobo Ramon, and Chema Andres.
It means that Real Madrid are not looking to loan the Spaniard out but instead sell him in the summer, while retaining some degree of control over his future like they have done with the aforementioned players.
So far this season, Garcia has played 33 matches in all competitions, of which only 12 have been starts.
He has six goals to his name during that period, including a hat-trick which came against Real Betis in La Liga in January. He also has two assists to his name.
Given his potential, there is unlikely to be a shortage of interested clubs for Garcia come summer.

Manchester United launch final push to sign Real Madrid outcast; club resists permanent exit
Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Endrick as the Brazilian forward’s future at Real Madrid becomes increasingly uncertain, with a potential January loan move emerging as a solution to his lack of regular playing time.
According to Bernabeu Digital, Manchester United are making a final push to convince the 19-year-old to join them.
However, negotiations could prove complicated because the Premier League club is interested in including a purchase option in the deal, while Real Madrid are not currently planning to give up permanent control of the striker.
Endrick’s limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season have opened the door to a temporary departure, with AC Milan and Tottenham also emerging as potential destinations.
Why Manchester United want Endrick?
Manchester United are looking for greater attacking productivity and believe Endrick could provide a different dimension to their forward line.
The Premier League club has also been linked with the Brazilian in the past, as they assess options to improve their goalscoring output after a poor start to the season.
Notably, his situation at Real Madrid makes a move more plausible, as Endrick has struggled to secure consistent minutes, and the club is considering a loan that would give him the chance to play regularly.
However, United’s preferred terms could become the biggest obstacle.
The English side reportedly wants the option to buy Endrick at the end of the loan, potentially giving them a route to a permanent transfer if he impresses.
Real Madrid reject permanent Endrick exit
Real Madrid’s preference is understood to be a straightforward loan without a purchase option.
The club want Endrick to gain experience elsewhere before returning to compete for a place in the squad, rather than risk losing a young forward they have invested in for the future.
His previous loan spell at Lyon provides a possible model for another temporary move, although any agreement would depend on the terms offered and the player’s own preferences.
Manchester United are prepared to make an attractive financial proposal in an effort to secure his arrival, but money alone may not resolve the disagreement if Real Madrid remain unwilling to include a purchase clause.
