0 goals in 9 games! Real Madrid’s 21-year-old forward sits on the bench. Three Premier League teams are interested: offer 20 million

The 21-year-old Gonzalo Garcia can only sit on the bench at Real Madrid. He has made 9 appearances in La Liga and the Champions League this season and has yet to score a goal. On November 16, Sunderland's local media "Echo" revealed that Sunderland joined the battle for Gonzalo Garcia and offered 20 million euros to buy the Real Madrid center.

Gonzalo Garcia serves as center and is 1.82 meters tall. He was promoted to the Real Madrid first team on June 1 this year. In the Club World Cup from June to July, Mbappe was ill and absent for a long time. Gonzalo Garcia became a blockbuster, scoring 4 goals in 6 games and winning the Club World Cup Golden Boot Award.

In the 2025-26 Real Madrid season, Mbappe returned to health and firmly occupied the main center position, while Gonzalo Garcia could only sit on the bench. This season in La Liga, Gonzalo Garcia has only played 7 times, totaling 96 minutes; in the Champions League, he has played 2 times, totaling 12 minutes. In these 9 games, he only started once and did not score a goal.

Gonzalo Garcia, who became famous in the Club World Cup, is very talented, but in Real Madrid, Gonzalo Garcia competes with Mbappe and Vinicius, and it is extremely difficult to get ahead. Sunderland's local "Echo" reported that at least three Premier League clubs are interested in introducing Gonzalo Garcia, and the "Black Cat" is one of them.

This newspaper revealed that Sunderland, Villa, and Wolves have all made preliminary contact with Real Madrid and are willing to make an offer of 20 million euros (17.6 million pounds) for the 21-year-old Gonzalo Garcia. Real Madrid is analyzing these offers and making the most appropriate decision.

As a newly promoted team from the Premier League, Sunderland paid close attention to Gonzalo Garcia this summer, hoping to introduce the 21-year-old Spanish center, but it was not successful. With his amazing performance of 4 goals in 6 games in the Club World Cup, Gonzalo Garcia received a contract extension from Real Madrid until 2030 with a liquidated damages of 1 billion euros.

In addition to Sunderland, Villa, and Wolves, Naples, AC Milan, and Roma in Serie A, and Sevilla and Oviedo in La Liga have also joined the battle. Transfer website fichajes pointed out that whether to sell Gonzalo Garcia is a difficult decision for Real Madrid. Real Madrid regards Gonzalo as a member of their future plans, but the offer of 20 million euros is also very attractive (the player's German transfer valuation is 15 million euros)
