Mayoral becomes a 'killer'

Borja Mayoral he continues to win the hearts of the tifosi of Roma. His superb goal against Bologna gave the Romans three points and keeps them in the fight for the Champions League spots. A goal that is the 14th of the season for the Spanish footballer. Mayoral equals his goalscoring records in one campaign and is set to break his own records.

The Real Madrid player, on loan to Roma for the next two seasons, is in splendid form. His scoring nose has made him Rome's top scorer with 14 goals. Seven in Serie A and another 7 in the Europa League, which makes Paulo Fonseca's men one of the most serious contenders to fight for the European title. In his successive assignments to Wolfsburg, Levante and now Rome, the one from Parla has sharpened his aim until he reached maturity at Roma in 2020-2021. Mayoral has always been a phenomenal scorer in the lower categories (For something he holds the record for the top scorer in the Youth League), but in the leap to professionalism it has cost him more to see the door, until now.

In the Italian team he has an increasingly important role and the ownership alternates like a myth giallorosso as Edin Dzeko. Roma signed a two-year loan deal with Real Madrid with both purchase options at the end of each one. Given the great performance of Mayoral, the Italians do not hesitate to exercise the purchase by the Spanish. At the end of this season they will have to pay 15 million euros, if they want to make the purchase in 2021-22, the amount rises to 20 million. Mayoral would have liked to continue at Real Madrid this season but in the end it was he and not Jovic who came out at the first exchange rate. Zidane values ​​him highly for his ability to score and assist. In summer he will have to decide whether to give him opportunities in the squad or to let him 'fly' free.

The Eurocup, a dream

Luis Enrique already only has the final list for Euro 2021 ahead, but as he himself confirmed he plays with 35 names to make up the final call. With Álvaro Morata and Gerard Moreno ahead and with Ferran, Oyarzabal and Olmo as options, in a possible false nine, Borja Mayoral and Iago Aspas are among the candidates to gain a foothold in the lead. If finally Luis Enrique decides to include another '9', both the Galician from Celta and the Madrilenian are in the footballers monitored by the coach with his team.

Mayoral was already fundamental in the last European title of the U21, but it has not yet been cited with the absolute. A good end to the season can make a place for him with La Roja in the European Championship.
