Fulham, Real Madrid and Gonzalo Garcia
Thursday
Fulham have agreed a €40m transfer with Real Madrid for Spain forward Gonzalo Garcia. The clubs are also close to a separate deal for 21-year-old midfielder Cesar Palacios, another player familiar to new Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa.
Garcia scored six La Liga goals in limited minutes last season but faced competition from Kylian Mbappe. Arbeloa previously coached both players at Real Madrid Castilla, giving Fulham a strong connection as they rebuild their attacking and midfield options.
