Real Madrid striker becomes Arbeloa's top target in
Newly appointed Fulham coach Alvaro Arbeloa has identified Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Garcia as the top transfer target in the process of restructuring the squad at Craven Cottage. According to information from Sky Sports, the Premier League club have targeted the 22-year-old as a top priority to fill the attacking position following the departure of Raul Jimenez.Arbeloa, who was officially announced as Fulham's new manager on Tuesday night after Marco Silva left the position, has immediately turned to his old club to strengthen the attack. The bond between Gonzalo and Arbeloa is quite strong. Not only do they share the same representative agency but also, during Arbeloa's time as coach at Real Madrid, Gonzalo had the opportunity to showcase his talent and become more prominent at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Gonzalo has amassed 35 La Liga matches since making his debut for Real Madrid's first team in 2023. During the past season, the striker scored six goals, showing sharp finishing ability and intelligent movement in the penalty area — qualities that Arbeloa believes will help him easily adapt to the demands of Premier League football.
According to the report, Fulham's recruitment department has planned for a busy summer transfer window, with the board prioritizing immediate additions to the striker, wing and central midfield positions. Sources close to the London club understand that Arbeloa wants to expand his recruitment from the Madrid club, with the desire to bring in more than one player who graduated from Real Madrid's training facility.
However, Jose Mourinho, who took over Arbeloa's position at Santiago Bernabeu, intends to watch both Gonzalo and Franco Mastantuono play during the season before deciding whether to keep them or let them go. Now, Gonzalo has emerged as Arbeloa's top target at Fulham, and it remains to be seen whether the deal will be successful or not.
