Real Madrid have reportedly moved to try and block Gonzalo Garcia from completing a transfer to Sunderland this summer. Sunderland were going all out to tempt Real Madrid into selling Garcia. Garcia is valued at around €30m, and Real Madrid is pushing against selling the 21-year-old. Sunderland now seemingly look unlikely to sign Garcia as he could be given more of a key role in Xabi Alonso’s side in the season ahead.

Sunderland, having secured promotion to the Premier League, have submitted a substantial offer for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Garcia. The bid is reportedly valued at €30 million, with an additional 25% share of any future sale. Furthermore, the negotiations feature a buyback clause allowing Madrid to repurchase Garcia for €40 million. The club's interest in Garcia is considered serious, as he has been identified as their primary target. Initially, there was a plan to loan Garcia to Sunderland with a mandatory purchase option contingent upon their Premier League survival, set at €15 million plus €5 million in variables. However, Sunderland are now prepared to make a permanent offer, effectively doubling their initial financial commitment. Despite Garcia's expressed contentment at Madrid and commendations from manager Xabi Alonso, Sunderland's pursuit of the striker continues.

Sunderland are prepared to offer Real Madrid €25 million ($29.4 million) plus a 25% sell-on clause for Gonzalo García, as reported by Fichajes.
