According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Mariano Diaz has popped up on the radars of various La Liga clubs over a late move in the ongoing transfer window. Celta Vigo, Espanyol, Rayo Vallecano, and Sevilla want to secure the services of the Real Madrid forward this summer.

Mariano Diaz is currently in his second coming at Real Madrid, rejoining Los Blancos from Lyon nearly four years ago. But the 28-year-old has played second-fiddle to Karim Benzema while sharing game-time with Luka Jovic in the last few seasons. As a result, he managed only 399 minutes of game-time in the 2021/22 season in 11 outings, scoring one goal and assisting another.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is unperturbed by Cristiano Ronaldo's failure to score for the second La Liga match on the trot.

The 32-year-old made his La Liga bow for the campaign in midweek after serving a five-match domestic suspension.

Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes of the Wednesday night's shock 1-0 defeat to Real Betis, but the Spanish champions bounced back with a 2-1 win over bottom side Deportivo Alaves. The Portugal international was not in the best of form throughout the game, and it required Dani Ceballos to score his first two goals for Los Blancos as he shone in his full debut.
