The 22-year-old joined Fulham this summer in a deal worth \u20ac40 million, with Real Madrid retaining a 30% sell-on clause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Born and raised in Madrid, Garc\u00eda came through Real Madrid\u2019s academy before being promoted to the first team last season. His move to Fulham made him one of the club\u2019s most lucrative sales of an academy graduate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Garc\u00eda opened his Fulham account against Xabi Alonso\u2019s Chelsea. It was Alonso who first gave him an extended opportunity with Real Madrid\u2019s senior side at the 2025 Club World Cup, where the striker emerged as one of the tournament\u2019s breakout performers. His goal against Chelsea was not enough to earn Fulham any points, however, as they suffered a 3-2 home defeat in their Premier League opener.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Fulham\u2019s fortunes improved in the second round of the Carabao Cup, where they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Wimbledon. Garc\u00eda was on the scoresheet again, producing a composed finish after rounding the goalkeeper before putting the ball into the net.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Two games into his Fulham career, Garc\u00eda has two goals to his name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Garc\u00eda has made an impressive start to life at Fulham, scoring twice in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":828406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[257,403,99],"class_list":["post-828405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-general","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=828405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/828406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=828405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=828405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
