Gonzalo Garcia would have said no to Betis

Real Madrid C.F.

The white-team academy product is heading into pre-season with his future still up in the air. Real Betis has emerged as a new interested party, while Real Madrid would rather wait before making a final decision.

The name of Gonzalo Garcia is starting to gather real momentum in the market. According to Fabrizio Romano, around seven clubs are keeping tabs on his situation and Fulham has joined that list with a specific interest. Real Madrid's position, for now, does not involve rushing an exit: Jose Mourinho wants to assess his progress during pre-season before taking any step.

The final decision would come once that preparation phase is over. Until then, the white club keeps the forward under monitoring and has not given the green light to a deal, despite the growing movement around the player.

Mario Cortegana, of The Athletic, says that Gonzalo himself will have a say in how his future is resolved. Mourinho would have told him that he cannot guarantee him a prominent role, although he would also have left him room to choose the path he considers best.

In England, Alvaro Arbeloa would be heavily involved in Fulham's attempt to convince the academy player. Although last season did not give him much prominence at Real Madrid, he believes he fits into their new project and could take on an important role.

Gonzalo, for now, seems inclined to keep fighting for a place in the white team. Arancha Rodriguez, from COPE, reported that the player would have rejected an offer from the Real Betis.

If a sale is ultimately opened up, Real Madrid would stick to its usual formula with young talents: keeping 50% of a future sell-on fee and a buy-back option. The club believes an exit could give him more minutes, but it also wants to protect the chance to bring him back later.

Fantasy recommendation

As things stand, it seems difficult for Gonzalo to wear the white shirt next season, but there are significant chances that he could end up on loan at some club in LaLiga. Therefore, it is not out of the question to sign the forward to speculate in this pre-season, and if it finally happens, it would be a real fantasy hit.
