Gonzalo Garcia dreams of playing with Cristiano Ronaldo

Although he came through the Real Madrid academy, Gonzalo Garcia has never had the opportunity to play against or alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. That has now become a dream for him.

This is also the case for many players developed at Real Madrid. Gonzalo Garcia (22, 5 Premier League appearances and 1 goal this season) grew up watching Cristiano Ronaldo's (41) exploits at the Santiago Bernabéu. Despite the advanced age of the Al Nassr striker, his Fulham counterpart still dreams of playing alongside him.

I’ve had several role models throughout my career, but if I had to choose one, it’s Cristiano. ALWAYS.” 🔙🤍 pic.twitter.com/moYgyjW4nr

"The player I would sign for Fulham if I could? That's an easy question: Cristiano Ronaldo, without hesitation," the Spain international said in an interview with FC Motivate. It should be noted that the Portuguese player's most recent spell in the Premier League dates back to 2021-2022, when he made his spectacular return to Manchester United.
