He was an almost anonymity player in Real Madrid in the summer of 2023, but who undoubtedly marked the history of the club: Joselu. The Spanish center-forward, although little flashy, had sent his training club to the Champions League final of a double against Bayern Munich. Supersub par excellence, the 35-year-old striker then joined Al-Gharafa in stride, leaving the number new number to Kylian Mbappé. But after the first season of the French, many demand the arrival of a new element in this position, capable of entering the game at the end of the match and destabilizing the defenses. While the Budimir is sometimes quoted as the lucky man, Casa Blanca may already have the player capable of fully fulfilling this role in his hands: Gonzalo García.
Pure product of La Fabrica, the Spanish U19 International (10 selections), impresses from the age of 21. He had already marked the spirits in the quarterfinals of the King's Cup against Leganes last February, offering the goal of the victory in the additional time of a pretty head, a few moments after having entered the game. Convened by Xabi Alonso to compete in the World Cup, the ambidextrous again made the nets tremble, opening the score against al-Hilal, being created at the finish. Hand -of -head despite its 82 meter, ten centimeters less than Joselu, competing in each ball as if it was the last, the young offensive element has qualities comparable to those of its elder. He will probably have the opportunity to prove his value this Sunday against Pachuca, while Kylian Mbappé is still sick.
