Madrid prefers that Jovic grow out; Mayoral would continue

Real Madrid will transfer either Jovic or Mayoral before the transfer market closes. The club prefers that the loan is Jovic, since it considers that, at 22, Going to Calcio for a season will mean for the Serbian to have more minutes and thus mature and improve, and hopes to later recover a forward for many years and make the investment he made with his signing profitable. In any case, if Jovic leaves it will be with a return ticket.

The Real Madrid coaches hope that Jovic will break into a great forward once he plays one Sunday after another, as it already happened in Germany. In Spain, last season, he only played one full game. It was in Pamplona, ​​against Osasuna. Logically, Jovic cannot be judged by that single appearance. His loan will be negotiated provided that his destination club, in Italy, accepts the commitment to give him the opportunity to play frequently. That continuity is what he has lacked so far and that Madrid has not been able to give him. Benzema's contribution has been extraordinary and the Frenchman has left little room for competition.

By cons, In Concha Espina they see Borja Mayoral as the firmer and safer alternative for Benzema. One of the two will leave before next Monday, and the type of agreement reached with their destination club will also weigh in on the decision. In both cases, the formula proposed by Madrid is the transfer. Roma, Inter and Milan are the three teams interested in Jovic and Mayoral and the most likely destination is Italy.

The white club would be willing to negotiate better conditions for Jovic's departure, since it believes that Italy is a country in which it could improve its football if it has more minutes than in LaLiga. Mayoral looks more done, more curdled and therefore, at this moment, more prepared to assume the responsibility of joining the team when Zidane claims him, who holds him in high professional and personal esteem. The other forward on the payroll, Mariano, refuses to leave Madrid and clings to his contract.

Madrid has drawn a strategic line to manage its squad. The idea is two players per position. Benzema is untouchable in the attack, and when Hazard and Asensio return, who are already ready, the minutes will get very expensive for players like Vinicius and Rodrigo and very expensive for Jovic, in whom many illusions are deposited and for whom a journey like the one Odegaard has had is prepared.

This policy of young players with a good present and a better horizon is Madrid's strategic plan, whose president, Florentino Pérez, will not spend money on signings beyond Mbappé, whom Madrid trust to be able to incorporate when the time comes. Florentino believes that the times for waste are not there and, like everyone else, he eagerly awaits a vaccine to stop the crisis.

In the meantime, The idea of ​​the club is to insist with the current squad, league champions, and let Zidane reinforce the team's solidarity in training and a group convinced that everyone's work is what will lead them to achieve their objectives.
