Fulham intensify chase for Real Madrid Palacios amid Garcia interest

Since this summer, Álvaro Arbeloa has been at the helm of Fulham. In January, he succeeded the dismissed Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid and oversaw the Spanish side until the season’s end, after which José Mourinho took over.

Having worked together at Real Madrid, Arbeloa knows Garcia’s qualities well and regards him as an absolute key player for the English side. Fulham intend to build a team around the striker and have already come close to the asking price.

Last season Garcia logged thirty appearances in the Spanish league, finding the net six times. He is contracted with Real Madrid until mid‑2030 and recently featured a full ninety minutes in a friendly against Leganés, where he also scored.

Garcia’s strong showing in pre‑season preparations has earned him a good impression, meaning Real Madrid may be reluctant to sanction his departure quickly.
