Gonzalo García Torres (গোনসালো গার্সিয়া তোরেস) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club Real Madrid.
Club career
Real Madrid Castilla
García is a youth product of SEK, Club Santa Bárbara, and Jarama Race, before joining the youth academy of Real Madrid in 2014. He had a year-long stint with Mallorca's academy in 2018–19 when his family moved there, before returning to Real Madrid. In January 2022, he was promoted to Real Madrid Castilla, and he made his first appearance with them in March 2022. He was a prolific scorer in the División de Honor Juvenil de Fútbol in 2022–23 where he was top scorer and won the domestic U19 treble, which earned him a permanent promotion to the Castilla side.
Real Madrid
On 29 August 2023, García received his first call-up to the senior side after the starting winger Vinícius Júnior suffered an injury. He was named to the squad list for Real Madrid for the first time for a La Liga match against Getafe on 2 September 2023.
On 5 February 2025, García scored his first goal for Los Blancos in the stoppage time of a 3–2 away victory over Leganés in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. He finished the league season with Castilla as top scorer with 25 goals, including a hat-trick win 5–0 against Intercity and two quat-trick in a win 6–0 against Mérida and 4–1 away victory against Algeciras. By scoring 25 goals during the 2024–25 season, Gonzalo García equaled the all-time record for most goals in a single campaign for Real Madrid Castilla—a mark previously set by Mariano Díaz.
On 18 June 2025, García scored in a 1–1 draw against Al-Hilal in the group stage match at the FIFA Club World Cup, which was also the team's first goal under new manager Xabi Alonso. He went on to score in a 3–0 victory against Red Bull Salzburg, helping his team advance to the knockout stage. Later, he netted the decisive goal in a 1–0 win over Juventus in the round of 16.
International career
García is a youth international for Spain, having played for the Spain U19s at the 2023 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.
Playing style
García is a versatile forward who can play across the frontline, as winger on either side, centre-forward or as second striker. He is a constant threat in open play, and lethal during transitions. He is a physical player who can use his body to create space and shield the ball. He is a prolific goalscorer, who was involved in 25% of his U19s goals when they won the domestic treble.
García has been compared to former Real Madrid forward Raúl González due to similarities in their playing style and shared background as La Fábrica graduates. The comparison gained further attention as Raúl coached García during his time at Real Madrid Castilla.
