The Premier League club has reunited two young Spanish talents with their former Real Madrid coach.

Two signings from Real Madrid

Fulham announced the signings of forward Gonzalo Garcia and midfielder Cesar Palacios from Real Madrid on Monday. Both players signed five-year contracts with the Premier League club.

Garcia is 22 years old and Palacios is 21. They will reunite with former Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who became Fulham's manager in July after leaving the Spanish club at the end of last season.

The transfer fees were not disclosed, but British media reported different amounts for each player. The Hindu and BBC Sport both reported Garcia's fee to be around £34 million.

For Palacios, the reports differed: The Hindu cited £8.5 million, while BBC Sport did not provide a specific figure. Both outlets noted Fulham holds an option to extend his contract, which runs until 2031, by an additional year.

Players' backgrounds and records

Garcia is a product of Real Madrid's academy who scored 13 goals in 51 total appearances for the senior team, according to The Hindu. The BBC reported he scored eight goals in 39 appearances last season alone.

He has won the Champions League and La Liga, and earned his first cap for Spain's senior national team in June, the BBC noted. The Hindu reported he was joint-top scorer at last summer's Club World Cup.

Palacios made few first-team appearances for Real Madrid. The Hindu reported seven senior appearances, while the BBC counted five, all as a substitute. He has represented Spain at the under-20 level.

Fulham's first Premier League match of the new season will be at home against Chelsea on August 24.
