The former Real Madrid forward, Mariano Diazhas been without a team since terminating his contract with Sevilla last August. Although several foreign teams were willing to offer him an accommodation, the 31-year-old forward did not receive any offer to his liking. Nor in LaLiga EA Sports, where he was linked to Espanyol. To make matters worse, Mariano Díaz could not compete in the Olympic Games with the Dominican Republic, which raised doubts regarding the state of his knee. Already recovered, the Tenerifewho is bottom of the Second Division, dreams of closing his signing.
To get out of the relegation spots, the Canary Islands team has hired Pepe Mel as a new coach and will make an effort, within his means, to also try to recruit Mariano Díaz into his ranks in the winter market. This is what he assures Sports Stadiumwhich points out that Tenerife will only have options to close his signing if the forward agrees to considerably reduce his salary.
Tenerife’s trump card to sign Mariano
Mariano Díaz, after not having had the prominence he expected in the Sevillacould welcome joining Tenerife to gain pace, show that he has left his serious knee injury behind and be able to make the jump to a team that fights for greater aspirations next summer.
Regarding his knee injury, while he was still a Sevilla player, Mariano Díaz commented: “With the intention of responding to the various information and messages of concern about my condition, I would like to inform you that I have been suffering from a complex knee injury for weeks, which is not allowing me to help the team to the extent that I would like. Despite insisting on different treatments, we have not achieved sufficient improvementwhich is why I can’t even train normally, as the coach has commented. I am working and making an effort daily to return as soon as possible, in the meantime, I can only encourage my teammates to take Sevilla where it deserves.”
