Real Madrid star ‘not part of the club’s plans’ for next season

A member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid is expected to depart the club this coming summer.

The player in question? Gonzalo García.

Frontman Gonzalo has of course played a bit-part role in Spain’s capital across the season to date.

Sitting behind Kylian Mbappé in the centre-forward pecking order in Real Madrid’s squad, the young Spaniard has been afforded a total of just six La Liga starts.

Gonzalo has nevertheless managed to find the net a respectable six times in all competitions, a haul including a hat-trick against Real Betis back in January.

As alluded to above, though, such production will not prove enough to ensure the 22-year-old’s continuity at the Bernabéu for next season.

As per a report from Blancos insider Mario Cortegana of The Athletic:

‘Gonzalo Garcia will not be part of Madrid’s plans for next season. It has been decided that the 22-year-old’s development will benefit from regular playing time away from the club.’

Real Madrid are therefore eyeing a permanent sale, albeit one which sees the capital club keep control of Gonzalo’s long-term future.
