Agreement in principle reached
Fulham have reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Real Madrid for the transfer of Gonzalo García, in a deal that could become one of the Premier League club’s biggest moves of the summer.
According to transfer reports, Fulham will pay a fixed fee of €40 million, with a further €2 million in potential add-ons.
Real Madrid protect their long-term position
Real Madrid are also expected to retain significant control over the forward’s future. The reported agreement includes a 30% sell-on clause and matching rights on a future offer.
A major attacking investment for Fulham
For Fulham, the signing would represent a major investment in a young attacker with considerable potential. García developed through Real Madrid’s system and has been regarded as one of the club’s promising attacking talents.
Arbeloa’s role highlighted
Reports surrounding the deal have also highlighted the influence of Álvaro Arbeloa, who is said to have played an important role in García’s development and in shaping the final structure of the transfer.
What remains before completion?
The agreement is described as being in principle, meaning the remaining formalities must still be completed before an official announcement. Until Fulham and Real Madrid confirm the transfer, the deal should not be treated as officially completed.
