Gonzalo officially joins Fulham for 40 million euros
Real Madrid sells Gonzalo García to Fulham, managed by Álvaro Arbeloa, while retaining 30% of his rights and a buyback option.
Gonzalo García is now a Fulham player. The English club managed by Álvaro Arbeloa pays around 40 million euros plus add-ons for 70% of the striker's rights, according to MARCA. Real Madrid keeps 30% and a preferential buyback clause that leaves the door open for a potential return.
The Madrid-born forward, who made 51 appearances for the senior team (13 goals, 7 assists), sought greater playing time and prominence. The presence of Mbappé, Vinícius, Rodrygo and Endrick made it difficult to guarantee him regular minutes. At Fulham he will wear number 7 and reunite with Arbeloa, a key figure in his development at Madrid and the main driver behind bringing him to Craven Cottage.
Gonzalo said goodbye to the club through social media, thanking the institution for his twelve years there. His breakthrough came during the last campaign with eight goals in 39 appearances, and he shone especially at the Club World Cup, where he finished as top scorer with four goals. Madrid has already announced his replacement: 20-year-old Carlos Espí arrives from Levante for 25 million euros.
