Defensa Central has reported on Gonzalo Garcia’s stance on leaving Real Madrid, stating that the Spanish striker is willing to start a new chapter at another club. According to the report, his chances of playing regular first-team football will be blocked by Kylian Mbappe and another player named Garcia. The report adds that the striker thought he would play many more minutes this season after finishing as top scorer at last summer’s Club World Cup. It also states that the club wanted to renew his contract and find a way to offload Endrick, as Xabi Alonso had significant confidence in him. However, the report states the manager did not use him much when Kylian Mbappe was available, and that Álvaro Arbeloa has used him even less. The report says Garcia is willing to leave because he is young and needs playing time to continue developing, and he knows that by playing regularly for a top-flight team he could earn a place on the Spanish national team. The report adds that this is considered virtually impossible at Real Madrid with the current attackers and Endrick also returning in the summer.

On April 8, TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, reported that Newcastle United are interested in signing Gonzalo Garcia from Real Madrid this summer. AS has reported that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is willing to sell Garcia this summer, and that the club wants €60m (£52m, $70.4m) for the 22-year-old.

Fabrizio Romano revealed that Real Madrid are willing to sell Gonzalo Garcia in the summer transfer window. According to Graeme Bailey, Newcastle are planning a significant move for Garcia. Newcastle looked at a potential deal for Garcia last summer, and the player's development at Real Madrid this season has enhanced their interest. Bailey reported that Newcastle's recruitment staff believe Garcia possesses the attributes to thrive in the Premier League and view him as a player with the potential to develop into a top-class striker at the highest level. A report from The Athletic stating that Real Madrid are willing to sell Garcia has been backed by Fabrizio Romano, who said the possibility for the player to leave is concrete for the summer transfer window.

TEAMtalk reports that Newcastle believe Gonzalo Garcia can be a suitable replacement for Alexander Isak. According to The Athletic, Real Madrid plan to reintegrate Endrick into their first-team plans next year. Mario Cortegana wrote that Gonzalo Garcia will not be part of Madrid’s plans for next season, adding that it has been decided the 22-year-old’s development will benefit from regular playing time away from the club. Cortegana also stated that the preferred plan now is for him to be sold. Cortegana suggests any sale would be similar to the one that took Nico Paz to Como, with Real Madrid insisting on inserting one or multiple buy-back clauses into the terms.
