Zinédine Zidane asked that no one leave … except Luka Jovic. The forward was unhappy at Real Madrid and the coach had lost his confidence in him. So he left for Eintracht Frankfurt where he bounced back with a brace for his comeback. During this time, the Madrilenians remain with the same workforce.
Currently the only number 9 in the Madrid squad are Karim Benzema and Mariano Díaz. It remains to be seen if this is the occasion for the Spaniard to shine after two years in the shadows, or if Real Madrid will bring a new piece to support the French.
In this sense, ‘Sportwitness’ and ‘Football London’ ensure that in the offices of Santiago Bernabéu, a name already resonates: Olivier Giroud. A middleman allegedly offered the transfer from Chelsea to Madrid in exchange for 5 million euros.
As he ends his contract in June, these 5 million would be the compensation requested by the Blues for the departure in January of a Giroud who has been on the shelves of Juventus and Inter. Still on the start at Stamford Bridge, this winter may see his final departure.
Giroud has only started 6 games this season, but has scored 9 goals. Although he is constantly improving, the world champion has always been in top form in the absence of his teammates.
‘Marca’ also echoes this, but points out that this option is difficult not for economic reasons, but for personal reasons. His relationship with Benzema is not good, they had several disagreements and it does not seem easy that they can share the locker room.
