According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Sunderland is one of the clubs expressing interest in promising Real Madrid forward Gonzalo García.
The 21-year-old has caught the eye of Premier League clubs after impressing in Spain this year. Real Madrid has reportedly received formal offers for the striker and is considering whether to sell him.
Sunderland, along with Aston Villa and Wolves, have initiated contact with Real Madrid and are reportedly willing to make offers around €20 million. The club is said to be evaluating these proposals as part of their plans for 2026.
While Sunderland’s interest in García is not new, the recent report indicates renewed discussions about a potential move. The forward made a name for himself over the summer by scoring four goals at the FIFA Club World Cup, earning himself a new contract until 2030 and a permanent spot in the Real Madrid first team.
Sunderland owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus hinted at potential transfer activity in the upcoming January window during a recent interview with Sky Sports. Louis-Dreyfus mentioned the need to bring in players to achieve their ambitions and stated that the club is preparing for various scenarios, including the possibility of aiming for a top-ten finish and making strategic moves in the transfer market.
