Real Madrid striker Gonzalo García insists he made the right decision to sign a contract extension with the club, despite his limited role at the start of the 2025–26 season.
García earned himself a place in Xabi Alonso’s first-team off the back of a surprise Club World Cup campaign, during which he took full advantage of Kylian Mbappé’s absence through illness and finished the tournament as its top scorer.
“My only option has always been to stay at Real Madrid. For me, it’s a dream to be part of the first team. And for now, I’m very happy and content with the decision I made,” García told .
García had just six senior Madrid appearances before the Club World Cup, failing to score, but subsequently extended his deal with Los Blancos off the back of his breakthrough summer. His new contract runs until 2030.
