With a headline addition virtually guaranteed to lead the line in their Premier League comeback, Leeds United is anticipated to make a major splash in the striker market this summer.
Although a number of players, including a championship midfielder, have been linked to Leeds this week, supporters are most eager for a big-name striker signing. Leeds is reportedly eager to try, despite the fact that the most recent name to surface may be an ambitious one.
The Whites are willing to pay €20 million for Gonzalo Garcia, a 21-year-old forward for Real Madrid who is presently dominating the Club World Cup, according to Fichajes.
Real’s position has changed in response to Garcia’s impressive mobility, technical skill, and final product. With 36 games for Real Madrid Castilla in the Spanish third division, the La Fabrica graduate has enjoyed a breakthrough season, tallying 25 goals and dishing out four assists.
Leeds United Set To Rival Sunderland For This Real Madrid Sensation
Real Oviedo and AS Roma have requested a season-long loan with no buyout clause, but Sunderland, another recently promoted Premier League team, would present the English team with the most difficult obstacle. While Roma and Oviedo have asked for loan agreements with no purchase requirement, Sunderland has suggested a loan with a mandatory purchase clause of €15 million plus €5 million in bonuses linked to survival.
Los Blancos are prepared to include a €30 million buy-back clause in order to retain control over the 21-year-old center forward’s future, even though the Whites have agreed to pay a sum of about €20 million for him. In contrast, the Black Cats are willing to take him on loan with the condition that they sign him for €15 million (plus €5 million in add-ons) if they are still in the top division at the end of the 2025–2026 campaign.
Although the player’s preferences aren’t stated, it’s evident that Leeds is prepared to challenge Madrid’s determination and that several elite teams see him as a high-upside addition.
