Fulham complete signing of Gonzalo Garcia from Real Madrid
Premier League side Fulham have completed the signing of Spanish striker Gonzalo Garcia from Real Madrid, with the 22-year-old reuniting with his former coach, Alvaro Arbeloa.
The transfer was confirmed on Monday by both clubs, ending Garcia’s spell with the Spanish giants after a breakthrough campaign.
Garcia enjoyed the most prolific season of his career last term, scoring eight goals across all competitions for Real Madrid.
Six of those strikes came in La Liga, including an impressive hat-trick against Real Betis in January.
Fulham have handed the young forward a contract that runs until 2031, with an option to extend the agreement by an additional year.
Spanish media reported the transfer fee to be around 40 million euros ($46 million), while Madrid are understood to have retained a 30% sell-on clause.
Fulham appointed Arbeloa as head coach earlier this summer. The Spaniard previously worked within Madrid’s youth set-up before taking over the top job after Xabi Alonso was sacked in January.
Garcia was not the only young Spaniard to make the move from Madrid to west London. Attacking midfielder Cesar Palacios, 21, also joined Fulham after breaking into the Real first team under Arbeloa in recent months.
Madrid, who hired Portuguese veteran Jose Mourinho as coach to replace Arbeloa, are overhauling their squad after going two consecutive seasons without a major trophy.
