Real Madrid to sanction these three departures in January

But
with
Florentino
Perez
desperately
focusing
on
reinforcements
next
summer
the
club
will
look
into
the
possibility
of
raising
funds
through
player
departures
from
this
January.
It
goes
without
saying
that
there
is
a
lot
of
deadwood
in
the
Madrid
squad
and
these
are
the
three
players
who
could
be
shown
the
door
in
winter:

1.
Mariano
Diaz

Diaz
is
currently
in
his
second
spell
with
Real
Madrid,
having
returned
to
the
club
from
Lyon
in
the
2018
summer.
However,
his
second
stint
also
has
panned
out
like
the
former
one.
The
28-year-old
has
struggled
to
establish
a
foothold
in
the
starting
lineup,
mostly
played
as
the
second
fiddle
to
Karim
Benzema,
coming
off
the
bench.

The
same
has
been
the
case
this
season,
as
Mariano
has
featured
just
once
thus
far
in
a
game
that
Benzema
missed.
The
French
international
however
reportedly
is
now
pushing
for
an
exit
for
more
game-time.
Madrid
are
reportedly
happy
to
let
him
leave.
A
€10
million
price
tag
reportedly
has
been
put
on
his
head
with
Sevilla
interested
in
a
deal.

2.
Luka
Jovic

The
23-year-old
Serbian
forward’s
excellent
form
for
Frankfurt
earned
him
a
big
£54m
transfer
to
Real
Madrid
in
2019.
However,
since
then
it
has
all
been
downhill.
He
could
not
claim
the
trust
of
former
manager
Zidane
and
saw
his
gametime
limited.
He
was
loaned
back
to
his
former
base,
last
year
on
loan
but
failed
to
be
prolific
for
them
as
well.

Ancelotti
offered
the
Serbian
striker
an
opportunity
to
prove
his
worth
this
season.
But
it
seems
like
he
has
not
impressed
him
much.
Madrid
are
now
willing
to
cash
in
on
him
in
January.
He
could
be
sold
for
a
fee
worth
€11
million.
Villarreal,
Napoli,
AC
Milan,
and
AS
Roma
all
reportedly
have
shown
interest.

3.
Dani
Ceballos

Having
failed
to
settle
at
Bernabeu,
the
25-year-old
was
almost
sure
to
leave
the
club
last
summer.
However,
an
ankle
injury
sustained
at
the
Tokyo
Olympic
Games
derailed
any
chances
of
a
move.
But
the
player
is
now
again
ready
to
push
for
a
move
in
January
and
Madrid
are
willing
to
grant
a
move.
There
are
several
clubs
interested
in
his
services,
with
Inter
Milan
keen
while
there
have
been
reports
of
former
side
Real
Betis
also
eyeing
a
swoop.
