Real Madrid breakout star attract interest from Premier League – report | OneFootball

Gonzalo Garcia was one of the standout players in the recently concluded FIFA Club World Cup.

The youngster scored as many as four goals, helping Real Madrid secure a semifinal spot in the competition. He was also the only Real Madrid player to be included in the Team of the Tournament.

Garcia’s breakthrough has led to major speculation over his future, especially considering the fact that he was close to leaving the club before the Club World Cup.

Premier League clubs interested in Garcia

Although recent reports suggests Real Madrid have closed the door on Garcia’s exit following his breakthrough at the Club World Cup, it appears the forward is attracting interest from Premier League.

According to Mundo Deportivo, a host of Premier League clubs are keeping close tabs on Gonzalo Garcia’s progress, hoping to lure him away from Santiago Bernabeu.

Sunderland, Leeds United and West Ham United are among the clubs interested in the services of Garcia.

All of these three clubs are determined to sign Garcia for next season. However, they are aware that striking a deal could be difficult as the forward is closer to staying at Real Madrid than leaving the club.

Real Madrid, for their part, are yet to make a final decision over Garcia’s future but that could come soon as the club look to draw a roadmap for the young forward.

Real Madrid will be aware that giving Garcia regular game-time will be difficult, especially with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo also fighting for places in the first-team.

However, given Xabi Alonso’s ability to nurture young talents, Los Blancos might just fancy keeping hold of the talented forward this summer.
