Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid after 9 brilliant years at the Santiago Bernabeu as the goal machine landed in Turin to sign for Juventus in a €110M deal, but since he left the Los Blancos fans has been waiting for a world class replacement.

Everyone at Real Madrid knows that he is nearly impossible to find a sure replacement to Cristiano, looking at his stats in his nine years at Real Madrid as Gareth Bale is expected to take over after him but he is not at that level yet.

So, Real Madrid decides to go and sign a former striker and he is none other than Mariano Diaz! Yeah, the Spanish striker who left Real Madrid in 2017 after finding game time short to come by as Cristiano was still scoring the goals alongside Benzema and Bale.

Mariano Diaz returns to Real Madrid with a point to prove and reports suggest that he will be given Cristiano no.7 shirt as he arrives.

Julien Lopetegui is trying to make a team with local players as he bought only Spanish players this transfer window except for Thibaut Courtois who arrived from Chelsea.

It's difficult to see Mariano Diaz reached that kind of figure in terms of goals for Real Madrid that Cristiano has achieved but the player is a young lad and knows that if he doesn't his chance, someone called Neymar is waiting on the wings.
