García, who progressed through Real Madrid’s famed La Fábrica academy, now embarks on a new chapter in English football.
The move reunites him with former Real Madrid interim manager Alvaro Arbeloa, now in charge at Fulham, who identified the young striker as a priority target during the summer transfer window.
The negotiations involved all three parties working collaboratively to finalise terms that suit everyone involved. For Fulham, securing García represents a significant investment in attacking talent.
For Real Madrid, the deal provides immediate financial return while maintaining a connection to a player they believe possesses considerable long-term potential.
García’s arrival at Craven Cottage offers him the opportunity for regular first-team football in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues.
Real Madrid’s decision to retain a percentage of García’s registration rights reflects their continued belief in his ability to develop into a top-level performer.
The structure of the agreement ensures they remain invested in his progress, positioning themselves to profit from any future transfer or increase in market value.
Fulham fans will eagerly anticipate García’s debut as the club adds another promising talent to their attacking options.
The 22-year-old becomes the latest in a growing list of players making the transition from Spanish to English football, and all eyes will be on how he adapts to the demands of the Premier League.
