Fulham are preparing to approach Real Madrid over a potential deal for highly rated forward Gonzalo García as the Premier League club steps up its interest.
Discussions are expected to focus on the structure of any transfer, with Real Madrid determined to retain long-term control over the Spanish youngster. Any agreement is also expected to require the final approval of José Mourinho.
Arbeloa is understood to be keen on Gonzalo, while Real Madrid continue to carefully evaluate the striker’s future amid growing interest from across Europe.
Back in June, Softfootball reported that despite speculation linking Gonzalo with a move to Como, no agreement had been reached with Real Madrid.
At the time, the talented forward had received more than five offers and was assessing his options before deciding on the next step in his career.
Fulham have now emerged as the latest club to make a move, but negotiations are expected to depend on a formula that allows Real Madrid to maintain significant control over one of their brightest young prospects.
