Aston Villa are interested in signing Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Garcia.
Fijages reports that manager Unai Emery believes the 21-year-old striker can significantly improve his squad and has urged the club to secure him a deal. Sunderland and Wolves are also keeping an eye on Garcia.
Will Real Madrid let Gonzalo Garcia leave?
The player is highly regarded at Real Madrid and they may be reluctant to let him leave permanently. Perhaps a loan move could be ideal for all parties. He has struggled to get minutes at Spanish clubs and needs more game time at this stage of his career.
A move to Aston Villa could be ideal for Garcia. It will be interesting to see if they can secure a loan deal for the player. Alternatively, Real Madrid could consider selling him with a buy-back clause.
There is no doubt that he is a great talent with a bright future and with the right guidance he could develop into a top-class striker. He has been described as a “classic number nine” and his movements have been compared to Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez.
It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa make a formal offer and conclude a deal depending on their interest.
Villa could use Garcia
Aston Villa were overly reliant on Ollie Watkins in attack. The England international needs more support and Garcia could potentially share goal-scoring responsibilities with him. Regular football in England could bring out the best in the young attacker and help him fulfill his potential. For now, sitting on the bench at Real Madrid will not benefit him.
The 21-year-old needs to focus on his development for now. If he can fulfill his potential in the future, he will have many opportunities to play at elite clubs.
