Braithwaite's fondness for Ronaldo Nazario and Messi
Martin Braithwaite has already shown big admiration for Ronaldo Nazario and Lionel Messi, past and present Barcelona legends, with the latter possibly becoming his teammate soon.
After several names came to the fore following Dembele's long-term injury announcement, one player is now in the spotlight: Braithwaite.
The Dane, who plays for Leganés, is Barça's number one goal and the deal could be concluded as early as Wednesday.
The newspaper 'AS' recalled an interview with the striker on 19 January 2019, in which he spoke of his predilection for Ronaldo Nazario and Messi.
"I like Laudrup. He's the best player in Danish history, but my idol is another player ... I've always wanted to be like Ronaldo Nazario," he began.
In relation to Leo, these were his words: "There are many people who believe it is possible to stop him. He always does something to you and all you can do is wait for him to fail or have a great day as a team to stop him.
