Chelsea puts up €30M, now he is untouchable and Xabi Alonso has the final say

The English side is willing to pay a significant amount for Real Madrid's forward

Real Madrid is already prepared to play the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup against Borussia Dortmund. The Madrid team will face the Germans at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey after defeating Juventus in the round of 16 match. In that game, Gonzalo García was once again the main protagonist after a magnificent header assisted by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

As we've been reporting over the past few days, Gonzalo García is one of the most positive stories for Real Madrid in the 2025 Club World Cup. The Spanish forward has scored a total of three goals and provided one assist so far in the tournament. He arrived to get more minutes and has made the most of his opportunity after Kylian Mbappé's absence.

Gonzalo García attracts attention from top clubs

Gonzalo García's performances have caused the forward to attract the attention of some top European clubs. Among them, Chelsea would be one of the teams most interested in the Real Madrid footballer's services.

According to the latest reports from the United Kingdom, the "blue" side could offer around €30 million. In addition, they also highlight that there will be special Chelsea scouts at MetLife to witness the striker's possible performance.

Xabi Alonso hasn't made the decision, but counts on Gonzalo

"There aren't any decisions yet regarding next season. We're focused on the Club World Cup. We're not analyzing how to build the squad, but he is giving us a lot," explained Xabi Alonso regarding Gonzalo García.

"I knew he'd work well and give us a lot, although I didn't expect three goals in four matches. I did trust him and he's earning that trust," added the Real Madrid coach.

The truth is that Gonzalo García has been one of the players who has most impressed the entire Real Madrid staff. His Club World Cup has made it possible for him to stay at the club ahead of other first-team players. In fact, at this moment, Rodrygo Goes has a much higher chance of leaving the club.
