Real Madrid's swift exit for García after eleven seasons

Eleven seasons at Real Madrid end for Gonzalo García as the club confirms his immediate departure following a deal with Fulham, announced Monday evening via official channels, while Dutch international Denzel Dumfries, who has just arrived, must already say goodbye to a Madrid-collega.

García joined the club’s youth academy at ten, progressed through the ranks and spent eleven seasons in the Spaanse hoofdstad, during which he collected one league title and one FIFA Club World Cup.

In the 2022‑23 campaign he featured in 39 official matches, scoring eight goals and providing three assists.

Coach José Mourinho judged those contributions insufficient to merit a longer stay.

Real Madrid issued a thank‑you message through its official channels, acknowledging García’s service.

Voor Real Madrid, the summer window saw millions invested, with sizable fees paid for Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, Carlos Espí from Levante UD and Dumfries from Internazionale, while Ibrahima Konaté and Bernardo Silva left on free transfers.

Dutch international Denzel Dumfries, who arrived from Internazionale, now faces an early farewell to a Madrid-collega as García departs.

The Fulham transfer was confirmed on Monday evening via the club’s official platforms, marking another swift adjustment to the squad.
