Like Luka Jovic: Zinedine Zidane kicked him out of Real Madrid and now he cannot stop scoring

Under Zinedine Zidane, lots of Real Madrid players left the club because they were extra weight in the squad. Some of them on loan, some other definitely. And many of them, who struggled in the Casa Blanca, are playing greatly where they are now. It is the case of Luka Jovic, Theo Hernandez, Achraf Hakimi, and more.

And now there is another one who is having the time of his career. He had come from the academy, but he did not have many opportunities in the first team. Now at AS Roma, he found himself and is considered a valuable member of the team with the goals he has been scoring recently.

He is Borja Mayoral, and scored two braces in the last two matches where he featured in the starting eleven. He went from being just a back up for Edin Dzeko to a important starting player, and he is rewarding that trust with goals. But he is on loan, so if AS Roma wants him definitely, the club will have to pay 15 million euros.

He is wearing the number 21 he had at Real Madrid, so it would not be crazy to think he is motivating himself to come back and impress everybody in some hypothetical return. But if the Casa Blanca ends up signing Kylian Mbappe, his dream might broke. Mayoral is aware of that possibility and would not bother to stay where he is if that happens.
