Arsenal are reportedly hoping to sign 22-year-old Spanish striker Gonzalo Garcia from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
Gonzalo Garcia is highly rated across Europe, and he has been linked with multiple clubs recently. The opportunity to play for Arsenal could be quite exciting. The Gunners are currently at the top of the Premier League table, and they are consistently pushing for major trophies.
Garcia will want to win trophies with them and compete at a high-level regularly. Garcia has started just six games in La Liga this season, picking up four goals.
However, a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes has claimed that Real Madrid will only sanction his departure if their conditions are met. The Merengues do not want to regret selling Garcia in the future, and therefore, they will only sanction his departure if a buy-back clause is included in the deal or a high future sell-on fee is included.
Will Arsenal accept the demands for Garcia?
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal is prepared to accept either of the two conditions. They need to bring in a quality striker in the summer. Gabriel Jesus is expected to leave the club due to the lack of playing time, and they will need to replace the Brazilian international.
Garcia is a talented young player with a bright future, and he has shown his quality in Spain during his cameos. The Spaniard has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well. There is no doubt he could be a solid long-term acquisition for Arsenal.
Regular football in the Premier League would be ideal as well. It will help him improve further and fulfil his potential. It is unlikely that Arsenal will agree to include a buy-back clause in the deal. However, a future sell-on fee might be more acceptable.
It is clear that Real Madrid rate the player highly and believes he could be a star in the future. They do not want to miss out on a substantial windfall. As for Garcia, he will hope to sort out his long-term future quickly and focus on his football.
