Carlo Ancelotti can’t stand the Dominican Spaniard for another day, and the president has ordered to try to find a buyer for the winter market. He thinks he’s a toxic player, and that he’s setting a bad example for the rest of the team, because he’s content with his remaining role. He himself had no problems saying that he would rather be at the Santiago Bernabeu, despite almost not playing, and being able to continue getting his salary, rather than going to another club where they pay him less
The end of Mariano Diaz’s stage in Real Madrid is approaching. After five seasons in which he failed, and was unable to play a major role, he will leave in June, when his contract expires. Florentino Perez will not make any attempt to renew him already knowing that he will have to find a new job. And they’ll even try to convince him to leave early, in January
He doesn’t mind the fact that he’s not playing anything, and he has to just play for a few minutes. In this course, for example, he only participated in a few incidents, in which he accumulated a total of 10 minutes. The day he was presented as a great signing, relegated from Olympique de Leon, inheriting the number ‘7’ that left Cristiano Ronaldo free is long gone, a sign of the confidence he had
At the time, Karim Benzema was heavily questioned for his lack of goal, and there were people who had no doubts that Mariano would manage to become a key piece in Madrid, and be the team’s offensive reference. Unfortunately, he’s never been able to play his best, and has accumulated a large number of injuries in recent years, which means he’s rarely available. Zinedine Zidane actually tried to kick him out on the same day, but without any success
Even the fact that he was the third striker, when they included Luka Jovic, didn’t make Diaz think of a change of scenery
Maria is still a famous footballer
Fortunately for Mariano, he still has teams interested in his signature. Because the truth is that whenever he jumps onto the pitch he shows that he has very exciting qualities, and he could be a crucial blow to any team in La Liga Santander
He does not have what it takes to succeed in Madrid, but entities such as Valencia, Seville, Espanyol, Villarreal and Celta de Vigo would be very happy to have Diaz in their ranks
