The departure of players from Real Madrid’s attacking line opens the door to future players fighting for a place in the Whites’ first team. Specifically, Real Madrid have already selected future replacements for Karim Benzema.
With Luka Jovic close to signing a new contract with Fiorentina and Mariano Diaz’s fate awaiting, Los Blancos had to look for alternatives to Karim in attack. Real Madrid put two names on the table and one of them became a reality.
Jovic’s tenure was not at all fruitful for the white team, leaving the Serbian player feeling bitter at Chamartín. Ancelotti did not count on him and his departure to Fiorentina confirms his lack of confidence.
Borja Mayoral will be responsible for taking Jovic’s place in Ancelotti’s squad, as Real Madrid consider him a guarantor of goals. In addition, the Spanish striker has the advantage of being a young player in the youth team and trained in the academy.
Despite the fact that his time in Rome was not the best, the Spain striker scored in the few chances he had and in his short loan at Getafe, he was able to prove it. Borja arrives willing to fight for a chance, because he knows his time will come.
Doubts about Mariano’s future
As happened last year, Real Madrid is looking for a new destination for the Latin American striker. Mariano is still not in Real Madrid’s plans, but nevertheless, the player refuses to leave the club.
Although work continues on Valdebebas on his departure, a potential replacement for the striker has been selected, Juanmi Latazza. The Castilla striker is one of Ancelotti’s favorite players and believes he has skills that his team lacks.
At Real Madrid, they don’t see the need to research the market in a situation where Benzema is outselling any new deal. However, Eural and Latasa are the two sons of the club and Real Madrid is confident that one of them can be counted on.
