Report: Aston Villa eyeing January move for prodigy with a 1 billion buyout clause
Briefly

"Garcia was outstanding for Real Madrid during the FIFA Club World Cup, but he has not had regular opportunities in La Liga. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career in order to develop further. Leaving Real Madrid in January could be ideal for him. Aston Villa could provide him with the opportunity he needs. He could complement Ollie Watkins in the attack if he joins the Premier League club."
"Unai Emery is a quality manager, and he could play a key role in the development of the young striker. However, he has a contract with Real Madrid until 2030, and it includes a 1 billion buy-out clause. Real Madrid are under no pressure to sell him, and the release clause reflects how highly they rate the player. It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa can convince them to sell the striker for a nominal fee of 20 million."
Aston Villa are pursuing 21-year-old Gonzalo Garcia and reportedly willing to pay 20 million to sign him in January. Garcia impressed at the FIFA Club World Cup but has lacked regular La Liga minutes, making regular playing time crucial for his development. A move to England could pair him with Ollie Watkins and offer competitive Premier League exposure under Unai Emery. Garcia remains tied to Real Madrid until 2030 with a 1 billion buy-out clause, leaving Madrid under no pressure to sell. Selling for 20 million would represent a significant bargain, while Real Madrid must adjust plans to retain him long-term.
