‘The Decision Is Firm’—Real Madrid Reach Final Verdict on Club World Cup Breakout Star
COMMUNITY OF MADRID, SPAIN, AUG 6 – Gonzalo García, 21, secured a new contract and the iconic number 9 shirt after becoming the top scorer at the FIFA Club World Cup, solidifying his first-team role.
- Real Madrid officially promoted 21-year-old forward Gonzalo García to the first team and assigned him the number 9 shirt for the 2025/26 season.
- This move followed García's breakout performance as joint top scorer with four goals in the FIFA Club World Cup held earlier this summer in the USA.
- García rose through Real Madrid’s academy since 2014, impressed staff during the Club World Cup despite lacking a first-team jersey, and was seen training regularly with the senior squad.
- The new contract extends García's deal until 2027, increases his pay, raises his release clause above €50 million, and formally registers him as a senior La Liga player.
- The club's firm decision to retain García as primary backup to Kylian Mbappé indicates a focus on youth development and refusal to entertain transfer offers from clubs like Getafe.
