Newly appointed Fulham manager Álvaro Arbeloa is actively driving negotiations to sign Real Madrid’s 22-year-old striker Gonzalo García, identifying his former youth and first-team protege as the primary key to rebuilding the Cottagers’ attack.
With negotiations intensifying, Fulham are prepared to table a package worth north of €30 million to bring the Spanish center-forward to Craven Cottage. Following recent departures in Fulham’s attacking department, adding a versatile, high-energy focal point has become an urgent priority and Arbeloa perfectly knows who could fix this so well, Garcia.
With competition upfront at the Santiago Bernabéu, minutes for García are hard to come by. A move to London under Arbeloa gives García guaranteed starting minutes at a top-tier Premier League club, while Real Madrid protect their long-term interests with a future sale on fee or buy back claus should the striker explode into a world-class talent.
