Gonzalo Garcia has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid ahead of the summer transfer window, with Premier League clubs interested.
Aston Villa and Newcastle United are hoping to bring Gonzalo Garcia to the Premier League, but they will face competition from Borussia Dortmund in the race to sign the Real Madrid attacking prospect.
The 22-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future. He needs to play regularly to fulfil his potential. Moving to the Premier League could be exciting for him, and it remains to be seen whether Aston Villa or Newcastle United can get the deal done.
According to a report from Fichajes, the 22-year-old striker could cost around €60 million. The asking price could prove a huge blow to Aston Villa or Newcastle United. The two clubs need to improve multiple areas of the team, and spending €60 million on an unproven striker could prove problematic.
Garcia is a talented player, but he is largely unproven at the highest level. Real Madrid will have to be reasonable in their demands for the move to go through.
Garcia needs to leave Real Madrid
The Spanish giants will not be able to provide the 22-year-old with regular opportunities. He has scored four goals for them in the league this season, but he has played just 680 minutes of first-team football in La Liga.
Sitting on the bench at the Santiago Bernabeu will not benefit him. He needs more opportunities and regular exposure to English football could bring out the best in him. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund have a history of working with limited resources as well. Paying €60 million for the Spanish striker could be difficult for them.
Garcia could also be attracted to the idea of joining the Bundesliga outfit. They have a rich history of grooming young players. They could help him fulfil his potential. All three clubs could be exciting destinations for the young striker. It remains to be seen where he ends up. It is fair to assume that a move to the three clubs is unlikely to work out unless Real Madrid reduce their asking price for the player.
