Aug 4 : Fulham have signed forward Gonzalo Garcia and midfielder Cesar Palacios from Real Madrid on five-year contracts, the Premier League club said on Monday.
Palacios, 21, and Real academy product Garcia, 22, will reunite with former coach Alvaro Arbeloa at Fulham.
Arbeloa coached Real’s youth and reserve teams before taking over the senior side in January to replace compatriot Xabi Alonso. He left Real at the end of the season and joined Fulham in July.
Garcia scored 13 goals in 51 appearances for Real in all competitions and won the Champions League and LaLiga in 2024. The transfer fee was not disclosed but British media reported Fulham had paid around £34 million ($45 million) for the forward.

The transfer fee was not disclosed, but media reports put the deal at around £8.5 million.
Fulham begin their Premier League campaign by hosting Chelsea on August 24.
