Gonzalo García's firm response leaves Real Madrid's leadership speechless

Gonzalo García surprises Real Madrid with a firm decision

Gonzalo García was feeling very optimistic when Xabi Alonso arrived on Real Madrid's bench. With Ancelotti, although he was the architect of his debut, he barely had real opportunities to show his talent. The arrival of the coach from Tolosa seemed to open up a much more favorable scenario for him.

That optimism was confirmed during the Club World Cup, where Gonzalo García played a significant role. The academy product replied in an excellent way by scoring four goals and becoming the tournament's top scorer. His performance led people to think that his prominence would keep growing during the new season.

The prominence of Gonzalo García fades at Real Madrid

However, the start of the season has radically changed that perception. Gonzalo García has only accumulated 233 minutes spread over 15 official matches. In addition, he still hasn't managed to open his scoring account in an official competition.

The presence of Mbappé and Vinícius has significantly reduced his space in the attack. On top of that, the team's modest results have led Xabi Alonso to opt for more established solutions. The scenario is once again complicated for the young forward.

Precisely for that reason, in Real Madrid's offices everyone took for granted that Gonzalo García would look for a way out in January. Teams like Betis have asked about his situation, knowing that at the Bernabéu he will find it very difficult to play on a regular basis. The idea, at least from the outside, seems very attractive.

Gonzalo García's firm response leaves Real Madrid's hierarchy speechless

However, the academy product's response has been as firm as it was unexpected. Gonzalo García has clearly communicated that he doesn't consider going out on loan. His message has surprised the sporting management.

"I'm not leaving" has been, is, and will be Gonzalo García's response to any loan proposal. The forward is determined to succeed at the Bernabéu. He is willing to wait as long as necessary to achieve it.

Despite having interesting offers, his stance hasn't changed. Major teams have asked about taking him on loan, but Real Madrid's "16" doesn't want to listen to proposals. His priority is to stay at the club of his life.

Gonzalo García stays, Endrick leaves

Unlike Endrick, who will indeed leave on loan in January to gain minutes, Gonzalo García will remain in the squad. The club already assumes that he will stay until the end of the current season. His decision is firm and doesn't admit nuances.

However, looking ahead to 2026, the scenario could change if the sporting situation doesn't improve. Gonzalo García doesn't rule out reconsidering his future later on. But for now, his message to Real Madrid is clear: he wants to stay and fight for his place.
