London, Aug 5:
West London club Fulham has confirmed the signing of Real Madrid’s star player Gonzalo Garcia, with the 22-year-old signing a five-year deal to stay at the Premier League club until 2031 with an option to extend by a year. Garcia will reunite with former Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa, who replaced Marco Silva this summer.
It was back in Madrid where he began working with Arbeloa, who helped the youngster take his game to a new level, most notably in 2023/24 when Gonzalo’s 35 goals helped the Under-19s secure a historic treble.“I’m very grateful, very happy to be here. I have to thank the board and Arbeloa for the trust they’ve put in me, and I’m very, very excited to start,” Gonzalo said in an official statement on joining Fulham.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Gonzalo Garcia to Fulham! Gonzalo is a very talented young striker, and he is excited to come to Fulham and play in the Premier League. We all believe that Gonzalo will be a tremendous addition to the squad and will prove to be an excellent player for the club under Alvaro’s leadership,” Fulham’s director of football Tony Khan said in an official statement.
