The Spanish newspaper 'Marca' revealed that Real Madrid has officially decided to grant young striker Gonzalo Garcia the number '9' jersey starting from the next season, in a move that confirms the club's confidence in his technical abilities and his potential to develop within the first team.

The newspaper added that the young player is about to renew his contract with the royal club, after agreeing on all the details, which confirms his continuation with the first team during the competitions of the upcoming season.

According to the newspaper, coach Xabi Alonso played a significant role in the young striker's continuation at Real Madrid, as he sees him as a promising striker who can be relied upon, especially after his brilliance in the Club World Cup.

Real Madrid was weighing between Garcia and Endrick to grant the number '9' that was worn by Kylian Mbappe, who in turn received the number 10 after Modric's departure.
