Re: Luka Jovic

i'm not talking about next year. i'm talking this season, if jovic goes out on loan, what happens if benzema gets injured? i mean we are only one game into the season, its not like we're playing the last 8 games of last year. i think zidane wants mariano out as well, i dont know about mayoral's situation regarding if he wants to stay or not. but even if zidane doesn't like all 3 backups, it will be wise to at least keep one for the remainder of the season.....and foolish not to have any, last thing i want to see is some dumb move like having isco or another midfielder/winger play false 9

I hear ya, but don’t know if Zidane does!

For the record, club tried to get rid of both Mariano and Mayoral. Mariano was to go to Benfica but wanted a reduction in his salary (he makes an astonishing 4M). He wouldn’t agree and there us no interest. Now he has tonsillitis and is supposed out for a month which will be beyond trade deadline.

Mayoral is on last year of contract and an almost deal to Valencia fell thru, likely due to Valencia near bankruptcy. Again no interest. For a mediocre CF, he isn’t worth the price especially as he will be a free transfer in 9 months.

This was on Zizou, not even his biggest supporters (like me) can support this decision on leaving out Jovic (or even Mayoral) and bringing on 2 academy players in a La Liga match against one of the top sides in the league.

Jovic being sent out on loan? Welcome to Juve Molenation

Apparently Cavani is available as a free transfer but with a high salary (7M)! Now that would make sense for a 1 year deal, and get rid of not only Jovic, but Mariano and Mayoral.

Go for it Flo and Zidane.
