This Tuesday begins the countdown to the closing of the transfer market in Spain, a week in which Real Madrid has no plans to add. It is the formula chosen to prepare for this forecast that between 150 and 195 million will cease to enter for different concepts (season tickets, match days …) due to the coronavirus crisis. But it does contemplate movements around four players in the squad: Jovic, Borja Mayoral, Mariano and Nacho. One of these four possible outings is taken for granted, although, paraphrasing Zidane in various press conferences, until October 5 (the technician always refers to 4-O) anything can happen …
Between Jovic and Mayoral there can only be one left. That has been the plan of the sports management since in the preparation in Valdebebas the first one lost shine and the second one won. The Serbian ignored different interests in summer and his salary should be assumed by the team he goes to, so it was more difficult to find a place for him. That is why it was conveyed to him the week before that he will not be forced to accept a loan if he is not fully convinced of his provisional destination, which points to Italy (Rome, Inter or Milan). The other alternative, that of a Mayoral for whom Roma has negotiated, it is not easy either because he is a footballer to Zidane's taste and the coach wants to have him.
Two other products from La Fábrica enter this group of players with their future to be clarified. Nacho is open to an adventure abroad to find the minutes that due to injuries and the arrival of Militao began to be scarce in 2019-20. His agent, Juanma López, the same as Morata's, took advantage of his landing in Turin to meet with several suitors. Rome, Milan and Naples have valued a reinforcement to which Madrid, In gratitude for the services rendered by a club man like Nacho, I would not put too many obstacles. Its place as the central quarter would be occupied with the new sap of Castilla.
The remaining folder on the table is that of Mariano, the great mole of an Operation Exit For which there are around 130 million income (counting what is perceived by Diego Llorente and Javi Hernández) and in which salaries as high as those of Bale (€ 30M gross per year) and James (16) have been released. Both the board and Zidane have let Mariano know that they do not have him, a message received with indifference for the striker, who not only does not intend to move, but also sabotaged his transfer with an option to buy to Benfica upon learning of the almost rebound talks. The 4.5 million that he perceives and how comfortable they are in the capital, their compelling reasons.
