Roma is thinking about Mariano

According to the newspaper 'AS', Rome has informed Real Madrid about their affinity and interest in signing Mariano Diaz, who could be a good signing for Roma's Paulo Fonseca, and could come strengthen the team's attacking side. 

However, the source maintains that the Italian club wants a loan, while in Chamartín they are only considering the option of a transfer with which to make cash and finance the undergoing team renovation.

However, Mariano Diaz has conveyed to Real Madrid that his intention is to continue in the Santiago Bernabeu, where he will fight for a place in the team with Luka Jovic and Karim Benzema.

The Dominican returned to Concha Espina backed by the 21 goals he scored for Olympique Lyon, but his performance last season translated into only four goals in 19 games.

Aditionally, the 'overbooking' of strikers and the urgency of Real Madrid to sell him has placed Mariano Diaz out of Zinedine Zidane's plans, in the exit ramp to London, Milan or Rome.
