Diaz bids farewell to Real Madrid after 11 years

Another player to depart from Real Madrid after Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio, Mariano Diaz will leave the Spanish club this summer as his contract expires.
The 29-year-old Dominican international joined Real Madrid in 2011 and played for their C-team and B-team before making his debut for the first team in 2016. In 2016, he was part of the team that won the La Liga title, the UEFA Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
In later stages, he failed to establish himself in the regular starting 11. His inconsistent performance sidelined him from the squad.
Due to a lack of game time, Mariano Diaz was loaned out to Ligue 1 team Olympique Lyonnais in 2017. There, he had a successful season, scoring 18 goals in 37 league appearances and helping Lyon qualify for the Champions League.
In 2018, he returned to Real Madrid. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mariano was looked upon as an ideal replacement to fill that position. But he didn’t live up to the expectations. He scored just six goals in 52 league appearances for Real Madrid.
In all competitions, for Real Madrid, he made 84 appearances, scored just 12 goals, and provided three assists.
The club issued an official statement expressing their gratitude towards the player for his services.
