Real Madrid starlet offered €5 million salary as Premier League club push for potential €50 million transfer

Real Madrid starlet offered €5 million salary as Premier League club push for potential €50 million transfer Real Madrid have been very active in the summer transfer window so far, making signings like Bernardo Silva, Marc Cucurella, Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries. The club have also wrapped up a deal to sign Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, adding some attacking firepower. The flip side of making so many signings in an overcrowded squad like Real Madrid’s is that sacrifices will have to be made. Talented youngsters like Gonzalo Garcia are unlikely to get any minutes should they stay with Los Blancos and could be sold this summer. Fulham make their move Now, according to Ramon Alvarez de Mon , Premier League club Fulham have stepped up their pursuit of Gonzalo by presenting the Real Madrid forward with a lucrative long-term contract in an attempt to convince him. Lucrative proposal for Gonzalo.

Fulham have offered the 21-year-old a five-year deal worth €5 million net per season, underlining just how highly they rate the striker. The reported salary represents a significant proposal for a player still establishing himself at senior level. Fulham appear willing to invest heavily to secure one of Real Madrid’s most promising academy graduates, hoping that a leading role and long-term financial security will tempt him away from the Santiago Bernabeu. However, it is worth noting that Los Blancos remain in control of the situation. Will Gonzalo stay or leave? (Photo by Judit Cartiel/Getty Images) The club must first decide whether Gonzalo has a place in Jose Mourinho’s plans or whether regular first-team football elsewhere would better serve his development. Then, they also need to decide what kind of exit suits them best and whether they want to send him out on loan or agree a permanent deal with some sort of control over his future. Money may not decide everything Fulham’s financial proposal is eye-catching, but Gonzalo’s next move is likely to depend on sporting considerations as much as salary. The good thing on this front is that the Cottagers have appointed Alvaro Arbeloa as their new manager, and he is someone who knows Gonzalo well. Fulham can offer the combination of long-term stability, top-flight football and the chance to become a regular starter in the Premier League. Gonzalo’s development may be well served by leaving Real Madrid this summer, and it remains to be seen how the player and the club go about making this decision.
