Zinedine Zidane avoided positioning himself on the future of the strikers that Real Madrid currently has. With Benzema as the undisputed fixed, Jovic and Benzema are candidates to lighten the squad. The French coach was asked directly about who he prefers of the two, the Serbian or the Parla, and he dodged the question.
“I will not answer. Here we are all and I will count on all the players who have a token. If there are changes, we will see it until the end of the market “, replied Zidane.
The white coach admitted that the eventual departure of one or the other will respond to both sporting and economic issues: “There are many things that are always at stake,” Zizou explained., who while the situation of the two attackers is resolved will count on them: “The players are here, training well. It's what interests me. “
After returning from two seasons in which he was on loan at Levante, Borja Mayoral's future seemed again far from the white wardrobe, but the advance of the market opened a possibility that it was Jovic who finally came out on loan. Both players have offers from Italian teams. Roma are behind both and, in addition, Milan and Naples have shown interest in the Serbian.
After neither of them even warmed up in Madrid's first game at the Reale Arena, last Saturday at Villamarín Jovic started in attack with Benzema. A discreet game took shape in which shortly before being substituted he caused the expulsion of Emerson. Mayoral replaced him in the 71st minute and caused the penalty that allowed Ramos to score the final 2-3 that gave Madrid the victory and three points.
