Fulham Set Sights on Real Madrid's Gonzalo Garcia
Fulham have made Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Garcia their top attacking target this summer. Mourinho wants to keep him, though Real Madrid would retain a percentage of his rights in a sale.
Fulham's Top Target
Fulham have made Gonzalo Garcia their top attacking target this summer as they look to strengthen their forward line. The Premier League club is reportedly ready to invest heavily to sign the Real Madrid forward on a permanent deal.
Mourinho Wants Him to Stay
Jose Mourinho reportedly wants to keep Garcia at the club. However, should a transfer go ahead, Real Madrid would retain a percentage of his rights — suggesting the club is looking to benefit from any future rise in his value rather than letting go of him entirely.
The Numbers Behind Garcia: Limited Minutes, Standout Finishing
According to StatsLook data, Garcia made 30 appearances for Real Madrid in the 2025/2026 La Liga season but played just 963 minutes (30% starts). In that time, he contributed 6 goals and 1 assist. His average rating of 5.83 placed him in the top 98% at his position — a reflection of how limited playing time has affected his overall average.
Even so, he posted notable numbers in some categories: he ranks 10th among La Liga strikers in goals scored (0.56 per 90) and 12th in key passes (1.21 per 90). His 81.6% pass accuracy, the 3rd best in the league, points to a technically mature profile.
He ranks lower in physical categories, sitting 36th in duels won and 41st in successful dribbles.
What This Means for Fulham
The numbers show that despite limited game time at Real Madrid, Garcia stands out in goal-scoring and passing reliability. For Fulham, this represents a young striker developed at a major club who's now seeking regular playing time.
