Jovic and Mariano: 85 million euros that the Madrid commanded to the empty

From the game of his maximum star, Cristiano Ronaldo, the Real Madrid has looked for incesantemente a figure that supla his works in the team, especially of face to the rival arch. The first bet of the white group was by the canterano Mariano, that lived a big year in the Olympique of Lyon in the season 2017-18 marking 21 goals, by what the Madrid of Lopetegui exerted his right of score when the Seville wanted to do with his services in the summer of 2018. It disbursed little more than 23 million euros. It did not work: it Accumulated four goals in 18 parties in his first season.

Because of this low performance, the merengues went back to the market of following summer. In said opportunity, fixed his attention in a Luka Jović that dazzled in the Eintracht Frankfurt of Niko Kovać, that even destronó to the Bayern Munich in the German Glass in that year. They bet 60 million euros, an astronomical figure that does not correspond to what has showed in the team where only adds two goals (both in the past campaign) in the 32 parties that has contested.

During his stay in the Madrid, the Serbian has coincided with Mariano in that hardly they have explained for Zinedine Zidane in the last two seasons (two goals in 14 parties). Between both players add only four so many between the past campaign and what has played of the current 2020-21, numbers that are far to be what expected the club after disbursing near of 85 million euros by the signing of both footballers.

Even, Jović and Mariano have opened the door of exit, although of distinct way. In the case of Mariano (27 years) looks for him destination (preferably traspasado) since Zidane returned to the bench. Until the moment accumulate three windows of signings trying that it go out (two of summer and one of winter), but the canterano denies to desvincularse of the club until finalising his agreement in 2023, by what does not expect that it change of opinion.

By his part, to Jović (22 years) looks for him a cession. It tried it the Madrid the past summer ('Zizou' preferred to remain with Borja Mayoral) but did not find destination. The situation repeats in the wintry market that hardly carries two weeks opened: The French technician wishes that the Serbian go yielded.

The 'go up and low' of the Real Madrid

It is innegable that the white group improved after being to a step of the abyss in starts of December: it Was about to to remain out of Champions League and to a step to end an abysmal descent in the classification of LaLiga, but surpassed these adversities and adueñaron of the second place of the classification, to a point of the Athletic leader of Madrid. However, of the last five commitments have empatado two and livestock three, what has allowed the vicinity of the FC Barcelona, his escort, that is so alone to three points of distance.
