The star of Real Madrid's youth academy is shining brightly at the Club World Cup in the United States, delivering exceptional performances against Al Hilal, Pachuca, and Salzburg, and has attracted the interest of top Premier League clubs.

Gonzalo García, at just 21 years old, has impressed the most influential and financially powerful teams in the Premier League with his standout displays in the tournament.

According to AS, three leading Premier League clubs have contacted Gonzalo's representatives to discuss a potential summer transfer. These are initial exploratory discussions focused on his contract details, which are highly appealing. Gonzalo has two years left on his Real Madrid contract, with a buyout clause of just $55 million—a bargain for Premier League standards.

Gonzalo's primary goal is to secure a spot in Real Madrid's first team under Xabi Alonso and build a successful career at the club he has always admired. He aims to be the first youth academy graduate to establish himself at the Bernabéu since players like Carvajal, Nacho, and Lucas Vázquez. Though some compare him to Joselu, Gonzalo prefers to break through at Madrid immediately rather than moving across European leagues.

Real Madrid plans to hold talks with Gonzalo's representatives after the Club World Cup to solidify his future. However, the club must stay alert, as Premier League teams are aggressively pursuing him, impressed by his skills as a versatile striker.

During the US tournament, Gonzalo has scored two goals and provided an assist while playing as Mbappé's substitute. He has showcased strong aerial ability, adaptability across all attacking roles, relentless pressing (a quality valued by Xabi Alonso), and precise first-touch passing, proving he is more than just a goal scorer. Comparisons have been drawn to legends like Raúl González, his former coach at Castilla, where he developed alongside figures like Arbeloa in Juvenil A.

In two weeks, following the Club World Cup, decisions will be made about Gonzalo's future, especially with Endrick turning 19 on July 21. If Endrick remains, Gonzalo's opportunities for regular play might decrease, but a loan move for 35 to 40 matches could help him gain experience and return stronger by 2026, keeping him in Real Madrid's long-term plans.

For now, fans and the club are watching closely. Gonzalo has already captured the hearts of Real Madrid supporters, and it's difficult to envision the team's future without him.
