Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler has publicly shared a heartfelt tribute to Gonzalo Garcia following the striker’s permanent move to Fulham. The transfer, which was facilitated by former Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa, sees the 22-year-old moving to the Premier League side on a contract lasting until 2031.
Following the announcement, Guler took to Instagram to praise Garcia’s character, highlighting his diligence and humility. The message acknowledged their journey together from the youth academy to the professional squad, with Guler stating he would miss having Garcia as a dressing room neighbor. Guler expressed his support for Garcia’s future as he embarks on this new career chapter.
The deal is valued at 40 million euros, with Real Madrid retaining a 30 percent stake in the player. Garcia, who rose to prominence during last summer’s FIFA Club World Cup, expressed excitement about the transition. This move reunites the striker with Arbeloa, a manager under whom he previously recorded 10 goals and three assists across 32 appearances.
