Alvaro Arbeloa and Fulham are now exploring options to bring in the Real Madrid forward this summer.

Following the signings of Marc Cucurella, Ibrahima Konate, Bernando Silva and Denzel Dumfries, it was obvious that Real Madrid will focus on offloading some of their current players.

The recent departures of Dani Ceballos and Fran Garcia looks to be the first of a few more to come during the next couple of weeks, as Los Blancos prepare for further additions to their squad.

The Whites' attacking lineup is also under scrutiny as per multiple reports, more so following Endrick's return to his parent club after completing a successful loan tenure at Lyon.

There hasn't been any confirmation on whether the Merengues will keep hold of their Brazilian forward for the new season, as Jose Mourinho and the club management will also need to assess Gonzalo Garcia's progress with the senior side so far.

Garcia's brilliant display during the Club World Cup last year made the club management to keep him for the previous campaign, although chances were hard to come by, as the striker started only nine games in La Liga during the previous season.

Apparently seven of those nine starts came under Alvaro Arbeloa, when the former Los Blancos man took over from Xabi Alonso as the manager of Real Madrid.

Now according to a recent report from Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports (h/t Fulham Fan News), Arbeloa, who recently joined Fulham as their new head coach, is now looking to bring in Garcia to the English side this summer.

With the recent departures of Raul Jimenez and Harry Wilson, Fulham's top scorers during the previous campaign, Arbeloa will need to act fast and look to replace those 21 goals which the duo scored for the Cottagers last time around.

As a result, the Los Blancos striker is seemingly a key figure in the Spanish manager's wish list, as Fulham keeps tabs on the 22-year-old's situation in the Spanish capital.

The Whites are yet to confirm a decision on Garcia and Endrick for the upcoming season, but there is little doubt that both the young forwards will want to feature more extensively at the club.

More so in case of Garcia, as he is already 22 and might feel the urgency to flourish elsewhere if he doesn't gets assured minutes at the club next season.

Given the current situation, Los Blancos might consider a loan move or a even a transfer with a buy-back clause in it, as Arbeloa looks to convince Garcia to play at Craven Cottage next season.
