Without a club since last summer, former Real Madrid player Mariano Diaz is digging a trail leading to Africa.
The former player Real Madridmulti-titled with the White House (12 coronations, including 2 Champions Leagues and 3 championships from Spain), also passed through Olympique Lyonnais and FC Sevilla, will perhaps bounce back… in Africa.
Officially without a club since July 1 and his departure from the Sevillian club, the ex-ephemeral Dominican international, only once capped with the Quisqueyanos (1 goal), is in fact in discussions with a big name from the continent.
This is the Al Ahly club, the most successful club from Egypt and in Africa – 44 times national champion and duodeuple winner of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Champions League.
An unexpected rebound in the spotlight?
This is what the very serious Spanish daily announces Markclose to Real Madrid and its former elements. While he will participate in the inaugural edition of the Club World Cup Next year, the Cairo club intends to take advantage of this spotlight to attract the 31-year-old center forward. Which would offer, if the negotiations materialize, an unexpected rebound in the ambitious FIFA tournament.
Mariano Diaz spent just one season in Seville, coming out of several years of good and loyal service at Real Madrid, the club where he completed his training after leaving the Masia of FC Barcelona.
A lease which proved to be more anecdotal, since he only made 13 appearances for 2 small starts and only 319 minutes of playing time (1 assist). This is due to strong competition and injuries, including a foot injury which kept him away from the field for 87 days.
