Neither Getafe nor Real Madrid, Gonzalo García is making a change in January: 'He has a great offer from the...'

The emergence of Gonzalo García at Real Madrid was one of the main headlines of the last Club World Cup. At just 21 years old, the forward trained at La Fábrica made the most of the opportunity given to him by Xabi Alonso. The absences of Mbappé and Endrick opened up a spot for him in the attack, and the young striker replied with a memorable performance.

Gonzalo had an outstanding Club World Cup, scoring four goals (4) and becoming the top scorer of the competition. His instinct inside the box, his ability to move between the lines, and his composure in front of the opposing goal impressed everyone. Overnight, the youth academy player went from being a Castilla prospect to a real alternative for the first team.

Gonzalo García already knows what Bernabéu is like

However, as the weeks have gone by, reality has set in again. Mbappé has established himself as the undisputed leader of the attack, and the competition for minutes has become fierce. Gonzalo has gone from being a starter in the Club World Cup to a secondary role, playing just a handful of minutes in recent matches.

This situation has sparked an internal debate at the club about what the next step in his development should be. Xabi Alonso fully trusts his talent, but he understands that a young player needs continuity to keep growing. That's why in Real Madrid's sporting management, they aren't ruling out a loan move in the next winter transfer window.

Gonzalo García is in high demand

Getafe was the first to inquire about his situation, with the idea of bringing him in on loan until the end of the season. Their direct play style and need for goals matched the young forward's profile. However, Gonzalo García and Real Madrid both believe that the most suitable project for his growth is elsewhere.

That place, according to Fichajes.net, is Real Betis. Manuel Pellegrini's team has been closely following Gonzalo García's progress for weeks. The Chilean coach would be delighted to have him for the second half of the season.

At Real Betis, they're convinced that Gonzalo García can be a game-changing player from day one. Florentino Pérez is in favor of the move, as it would allow the player to keep maturing in a competitive environment with European demands.

For now, Gonzalo García keeps working with the hope of establishing himself at Real Madrid, although the option of Real Betis is appealing to him. The chance to work with a coach like Pellegrini and to play quality minutes in LaLiga is too attractive to pass up.
