Real Madrid set to offload two transfer flops in January | OneFootball

With the January transfer window rapidly approaching, Real Madrid are planning to trim their squad by offloading a couple of outcasts.

That’s according to Spanish outlet Marca, who report that Los Blancos want to sell Mariano Díaz and send Brahim Díaz out on loan.

Mariano hasn’t played a single minute of football for the club this season and is clearly not part of Zinedine Zidane’s plans.

However, there is still a possibility that Brahim has a future at the Bernabeu but as things stand, the 20-year-old is quite far down the pecking order, especially after the emergence of Rodrygo Goes.

The former Manchester City youngster has made just 12 first-team appearances since moving to the Spanish capital last January, and this season he has so far played just nine minutes of senior football.

The Spain international was reportedly advised to leave on loan in the summer but instead he decided to stay and fight for his place.

However, there now seems to be acknowledgement from both player and club that a temporary move away will benefit his career in the short-term.
