Fulham in Talks for Real Madrid Striker Gonzalo Garcia

Fulham have opened discussions with Real Madrid over striker Gonzalo Garcia, with the 22-year-old emerging as the club’s priority target this summer. The move is heavily influenced by new Fulham head coach Álvaro Arbeloa, who is considered Garcia’s football mentor and has been directly involved in the talks. Garcia has drawn interest from several clubs across Europe over the past year, but Fulham are pushing to land him as their first summer signing. Meanwhile, the Cottagers have already made one permanent addition – Swedish forward Jonah Kusi-Asare, who completed a full-time switch from Bayern Munich after spending the 2025-26 season on loan at Craven Cottage. Madrid are expected to hold onto some form of buyback or preferential clause if a deal for Garcia goes through, keeping a foothold in his long-term future.
