Real Madrid youngster Gonzalo Garcia is open to a proposal from Fulham but is waiting for the club to hold successful negotiations.
COPE report on the situation around him and other Real Madrid business today. According to their information, Fulham have a chance of getting the 22-year-old this summer.
Fulham effort
The outlet explains that Real Madrid need to make space in their squad if they are to complete the signings of Yan Diomande and Rodri in the coming weeks. They have no space in the squad at present, with all 25 spaces filled.
The problem is that while the process of moving players out is underway, it is taking a long time to execute. Gonzalo Garcia is one of the names on the list of players are ‘most likely to leave’.
He is currently being targeted by Fulham, and former manger Alvaro Arbeloa. Sport Witness have covered various reports on their efforts to bring the youngster to Craven Cottage.
Indeed, Sport Witness covered a report yesterday explaining that Jose Mourinho had sanctioned a departure for Gonzalo this summer. That was seen as the green light for Fulham, who were expected to step up their efforts.
Gonzalo open to Fulham
COPE now report that their desire for a transfer has been boosted by the fact that he is ‘open to Fulham’s offer’. The problem at this moment in time is there no agreement between Fulham and Real Madrid. The youngster is waiting for those negotiations to reach a successful conclusion.
The question is what sort of deal the two sides agree upon. At this moment in time the focus is on a permanent transfer, but Real Madrid want to keep at least 50% of his future rights. This follows a model they have used when letting several academy products leave in recent years.
Whether Fulham are open to such a deal, remains to be seen. Garcia, it seems, is waiting for the final decision from both before making a move to London.
