The club's management is working to secure a long-term deal with Gonzalo, whose current contract is set to expire soon. A preliminary agreement has been reached between Real Madrid and Gonzalo's management team, Best of You, which will see the new contract run until 2030.
Gonzalo's buyout clause will increase significantly, from €50m to €1bn, under the new deal. The 23-year-old Spanish striker has made a strong impression in his first season with the first team, scoring five goals in his first ten matches.
This achievement is impressive, as it equals the record of Emilio Butragueño and trails only the legendary Raúl by one goal. Gonzalo's performance has caught the attention of the club's management, who are eager to secure his future with Real Madrid.
