Gonzalo has been Real Madrid's great breakthrough this summer, and he didn't do it in a preseason friendly. He did it in the Club World Cup, against the most powerful teams on the international stage. He also ended up taking home the Golden Boot thanks to 4 goals and one assist.

The youth academy player caused an earthquake at Real Madrid that made it start to reconsider its future. He earned a spot in the first team for the upcoming season and it seems that's how it will be. In addition, they want to make sure of his long-term continuity in the white squad.

This season he will already have a first-team spot and they also want to extend his contract to keep him close. Right now, he is signed until 2027 (2027), but the idea is for him to renew right away. In fact, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that talks between the player and the club have already started.

Xabi Alonso has made the decision to bet on him and despite the rumors about his departure, he is staying. He sees in him the striker he had asked for as soon as he arrived at the white team. That's why he has insisted that Gonzalo shouldn't go out on loan despite the offers they had.

It doesn't seem that they will have many problems renewing his contract since both parties think the same way. Gonzalo feels loved at the club and wants to stay, especially after his promotion to the first team. Meanwhile, at Real Madrid, they see a striker for the future who can contribute a lot.

The idea is for him to extend his contract until June 30, 2031, securing him for the long term. They also show the trust they have in him with a significant salary increase. According to Defensa Central, they will set it at €3 million gross per season.

Finally, the idea is for him to also have a release clause that can deter other teams. He has already been tempted by several during this summer so the danger is real. Everything seems to indicate that they would set it at €500 million.
