Gonzalo García Torres is a Spanish forward who has risen through the ranks of La Fábrica to become a recognised goal threat for the senior side of Real Madrid. Featured in Walkouts collections and sought after by collectors, he combines a natural eye for goal with versatile attacking movement, capable of operating on either wing, as a centre-forward, or as a second striker.
García was born on 24 March 2004 and began his football education with local sides including SEK, Club Santa Bárbara, and Jarama Race. He joined the Real Madrid youth academy in 2014, spent a season with Mallorca's academy in 2018-19 when his family moved, and then returned to Madrid to continue his development. His emergence was marked by prolific scoring at youth level, which set the foundations for his rapid ascent into senior football.
In January 2022 he was promoted to Real Madrid Castilla, making his first appearances that March. García became top scorer in the División de Honor Juvenil during the 2022-23 campaign and helped his side to the domestic U19 treble, an achievement that earned him a permanent place with Castilla. His finishing, movement in transition, and physical application to shield the ball were highlighted throughout that season.
García's first senior call-up came on 29 August 2023, and he was named in the matchday squad for the La Liga fixture against Getafe on 2 September 2023. He scored his first goal for the Real Madrid first team on 5 February 2025, netting in stoppage time to secure a 3-2 win away to Leganés in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. Across the 2024-25 campaign he finished as Castilla's top scorer with 25 goals, matching the club record for most goals in a single season previously set by Mariano Díaz, and produced several standout hauls including a hat-trick and multiple four goal performances.
García played a notable role at the FIFA Club World Cup, scoring in the group stage on 18 June 2025, and adding further goals through the knockout rounds, finishing as the competition's top goalscorer. His performances contributed to a contract renewal and his promotion to the Real Madrid first team on 8 August 2025. Honours with the club include La Liga 2023-24 and UEFA Champions League 2023-24, while individual accolades include Primera Federación Top Goal Scorer 2024-25 and FIFA Club World Cup Top Goal Scorer 2025.
Internationally, García has represented Spain at youth level, featuring at the 2023 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, and received his first Spain U21 call-up in August 2025 for 2027 qualifying matches, starting both fixtures. His adaptability across the front line and goal record have defined his international prospects.
For collectors, García's rising profile enhances provenance for items such as a signed shirt, authentic autograph cards, and match-worn memorabilia. Pieces linked to his formative years at Real Madrid or to standout moments such as his top-scoring 2024-25 season carry clear provenance notes and are appealing as verified memorabilia to those building curated collections.
García remains a compelling figure for both fans and collectors, blending on-field achievement with clear documentary provenance across youth and senior milestones. As his career progresses, items associated with his early breakthroughs and honours will be central to many memorabilia collections, and Walkouts will continue to reference authenticated pieces as part of that ongoing legacy.
