Real Madrid Confidencial All the details of Gonzalo's new contract: years, salary and clause
The youth academy graduate has signed until 2030 with a salary of 4 million euros and a 1 billion euro release clause
Real Madrid has officially finalized Gonzalo García's contract renewal. The academy striker has signed until 2030. His new salary will be €4 million gross per season. In addition, the club has secured his future with a €1 billion release clause.
This contract confirms the great trust that Florentino Pérez and Xabi Alonso have in him. At 20 years old, Gonzalo has earned a place in the first team and will be the natural replacement for Vinícius and Mbappé.
Change of jersey number and hard-earned position
Everything pointed to the academy player inheriting the number 9. However, Endrick has chosen that number according to his seniority in the first team. The Brazilian leaves 16, which will finally be Gonzalo's number, available.
Although it wasn't his first choice, the striker has accepted it naturally. His priority wasn't the number, but rather to get minutes and prominence this season.
Xabi Alonso sees him as the ideal backup striker for his system. His versatility and movement in attack have allowed him to move ahead of other players in the rotation. The coach trusts his progress will continue and make him an important piece in the club's future.
In the Club World Cup, Gonzalo has shown work ethic, commitment, and goal-scoring ability. His attitude has convinced everyone in Valdebebas. That's why the sporting management decided to speed up his renewal and secure him against the interest of several European clubs.
A clear message from Madrid
The contract until 2030 and the €1 billion clause are a statement of intent. Real Madrid wants Gonzalo to be part of the long-term project.
The commitment to the academy is clear. First with players like Fran García or Raúl Asencio, now with a striker who has grown through all the club's categories.
The academy player's goal is clear: to take advantage of every opportunity Xabi Alonso gives him. He knows that competing with Mbappé and Vinícius won't be easy, but he trusts his daily work to earn a place.
At Bernabéu, they expect Gonzalo to keep growing and for the number 16 to become an important number in the club's recent history.
