Real Madrid's Gonzalo Garcia likely to stay amid transfer interest

Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Garcia is attracting interest from clubs, including Real Betis. However, two significant obstacles are hindering a potential transfer: the player's valuation of around €30 million and the desire of new manager Jose Mourinho to retain him. Mourinho views Gonzalo as a valuable backup option and wishes to evaluate him during pre-season before making a decision. Despite limited first-team opportunities, Gonzalo has shown his potential, finishing last season with eight goals and three assists across 39 matches. His immediate future at Real Madrid will depend on Mourinho's assessment.
