Gonzalo García has made a decision that could define the course of his career: staying at Real Madrid and fighting for a spot in the first team under Xabi Alonso, who will take over as head coach next season. The young striker has rejected three offers from Premier League clubs and another from Serie A, making it clear that his priority is to succeed at his dream club.

The three Premier League offers Gonzalo García turned down to stay at Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso 

At just 20 years old, Gonzalo had already attracted interest from top European clubs, especially after his standout performance at the revamped Club World Cup, where he was the tournament’s top scorer with four goals and one assist. His level was so impressive that comparisons quickly arose with club legend Raúl González.

Despite having a release clause of just €50 million, the Premier League approaches failed to persuade the academy product, who is now in talks with the club to renew his contract and increase both his clause and his wages. The recent injury to Endrick, another young Madrid star, could open the door for Gonzalo to get more minutes and solidify his place in the first team.

Meanwhile, Álvaro Carreras, who was also officially unveiled as a new Real Madrid player, highlighted the commitment both youngsters have with the club’s long-term project. The left-back, signed for €50 million from Benfica, stated that “this is a dream come true” and expressed his readiness to compete with Fran García and Ferland Mendy for a starting spot.

Carreras also confirmed that he has already spoken with Xabi Alonso, who welcomed him to the team and expressed his confidence. Gonzalo, for his part, remains focused on seizing every opportunity and proving he’s ready to represent the club that raised him.

With emerging talents like Gonzalo García and Álvaro Carreras, and under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid is clearly placing its bet on young, homegrown talent. The future is already being written in Valdebebas.
