Real Madrid: Breaking down the 4 players who could be sold in January

LUKA JOVIC AND MARIANO DIAZ

Both Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz have been added to this list. Both the back-up strikers have a rather sporadic role at Real Madrid as Karim Benzema continues to perform phenomenally. Part of the reason why Los Blancos plan to loan out or sell either of the two is because of their wages.

Jovic is one of the best-paid players in the team but has not featured for Los Blancos in over two months. His salary coupled with the lack of game-time has grown into a serious problem at Real Madrid. Not to forget to mention that the club also has its eyes on Erling Haaland.

Clubs such as Wolverhampton Wanderers, AC Milan, and Eintracht Frankfurt have shown interest in Luka Jovic. The three mentioned clubs are willing to sign the player on a six-month loan deal this January transfer market. According to a few reports, Jovic himself has given the green light for an exit as the Serbian is desperate to play football.

Meanwhile, for Mariano Diaz, the club attempted to sell the player last summer. However, Diaz rejected a couple of offers as he wanted a better contract.  Benfica and Porto were eager on buying the 27-year-old last summer. Currently, there have been no new offers on the table for Diaz.
