Gonzalo García, with 10 offers, reveals if he is going to be the new Joselu for Real Madrid

One of the standout figures who has become a regular presence at the Club World Cup is Gonzalo García. Xabi Alonso surprised everyone by offering the starting spot to the Spanish footballer, who came up through La Fábrica, to cover for an absent Kylian Mbappé, who was suffering from gastroenteritis. Although the Bondy striker has recovered, the "30" in white remains a regular starter.

His performance doesn't disappoint: against Borussia Dortmund, he scored the first goal for the white team ten minutes into the match. The work of the Real Madrid Castilla forward, top scorer in Primera RFEF, has caught the attention of multiple clubs in the European soccer elite.

The information published by Edu Aguirre indicates that Gonzalo García may have received up to ten approaches from clubs trying to lure him away from Santiago Bernabéu locker room. The player could have the possibility of moving to Serie A, but the Premier League option is starting to gain more and more traction.

The same is true for about half of those offers, according to the journalist from "El Chiringuito de Jugones", which come from Spanish soccer teams. Gonzalo García is one of the most in-demand forwards in the world and the interest shown by multiple squads from the Old Continent makes his future at Real Madrid even more complicated.

He feels more than ready

Despite those constant approaches that Gonzalo García may have received since the start of his brilliant Club World Cup, the player is totally focused on the Club World Cup. So far, he hasn't shown any signs of wanting to leave the first team, making it clear that he can adapt to Xabi Alonso's tactical needs.

So much so that he has made it clear that "I think I can play Joselu's role". The acquisition of a forward who fits the profile of the former "14" in white has been one of the most repeated requests from the Tolosa coach in the Valdebebas offices. Instead of intervening in the market, the Basque manager has "found" this academy product.

The majority of his impactful actions in a match fit perfectly with that role shown so far. That's why there is confidence within the coaching staff, even from the player himself, that this is the role he should play during the 25/26 season. His performance data so far is gradually positioning him as a very valid option for that unique position.

In any case, Gonzalo García's emergence has completely changed Real Madrid's roadmap. The executives led by Florentino Pérez have more and more trust in the forward: the young academy product must compete for a spot in Real Madrid's crowded list of forwards.
