Real Madrid will not entertain any offers for 21-year-old Spanish striker Gonzalo Garcia in the winter transfer window amid his links with Leeds United.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Gonzalo Garcia is the subject of interest from Leeds United. The Whites are eager to bolster their offensive unit by signing a striker in the winter transfer window. So, the 21-year-old Real Madrid prodigy has emerged as a target for the West Yorkshire outfit.
Recent reports have claimed that the 2024/25 EFL Championship winners are ready to submit a bid worth £17 million to secure the Spaniard’s services. However, the latest update has dealt a blow to Leeds United, as Real Madrid will not consider any offers for Garcia, and they have rebuffed the promoted club’s approach.
How has Gonzalo Garcia fared at Real Madrid?
Gonzalo Garcia has endured a topsy-turvy ride since breaking into the first-team squad at Real Madrid. The 21-year-old surprised many when he enjoyed an exceptional campaign at the FIFA Club World Cup last summer, taking his opportunity in the absence of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. However, the young striker has had to bide his time in the first half of the 2025/26 season.
But Garcia has stepped up in Mbappe’s absence again, scoring a hat-trick in the 5-1 win over Real Betis last weekend. Meanwhile, the Spanish striker’s exploits have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Leeds United will be among the prospective suitors vying for the Real Madrid prodigy’s signature in the winter transfer window.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Gonzalo Garcia has been on Leeds United’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, even though the West Yorkshire outfit signed Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha in the summer transfer window. However, while Calvert-Lewin has been exceptional after a slow start to life as a Leeds United player, his injury history has compelled the Whites to seek an alternative from the market.
So, the Whites have been scouring the market for a striker heading into the winter transfer window, with Garcia emerging as a viable target. However, while widespread reports have claimed that Leeds United will soon submit a bid worth £17 million to secure the Spaniard’s services in the winter transfer window, a January move will not materialise.
Real Madrid will not entertain any offers for Garcia in the ongoing transfer window, and they have rebuffed Leeds United’s approach. Los Blancos’ stance makes sense, as Endrick has completed a loan move to Lyon, and Garcia remains Mbappe’s only deputy in Xabi Alonso’s squad. So, Leeds United must look elsewhere for a new striker this month.
