Gonzalo García has been one of the standout names at Real Madrid in recent weeks. The Madrid youth player is at a great level in Castilla, breaking all scoring records. He was also the hero in the Copa del Rey against Leganés, advancing to the semifinals.

To such an extent that the club considers that the Primera RFEF is a category that has become too small for him. If the reserve team doesn't achieve promotion to Segunda, they will look for an exit for him. It seems difficult for him to have a spot on the first team unless there is a departure like Endrick's.

However, in the offices of Bernabéu, they have found a very interesting possible destination for him. It is Real Sociedad and they are considering including him in a deal to reduce costs. In the dream signing for Florentino, which is the midfielder Martín Zubimendi.

Real Madrid wants to offer 45 million euros, his clause is set at 60, to secure his services. In exchange for that reduction, they would be willing to include Gonzalo García in the deal. A reinforcement for the Donostia forward line that needs players to improve in front of goal.

No Room for Gonzalo García but There Is for Zubimendi

Real Madrid sees a lot of potential in Gonzalo García, but right now there is no room for him on the first team. As we mentioned, the possible departure of Endrick could help him. But it doesn't seem that the Brazilian will make the decision to leave next summer despite the rumors.

If it is Vinícius who goes to Arabia, the white club wants to bring in another TOP player to take his place. Meanwhile, in the midfield, there is room for Zubimendi to come. The retirement of Kroos at the end of last season was not replaced by any signing in the summer.

Additionally, the next one could be Modric who ends his time with the merengue team. With those two departures, the Donostia player will have many options to join Madrid. They also see him as an undisputed starter given the questions raised by Tchouaméni's performance.
