OFFICIAL: Mariano Diaz leaves Real Madrid

Mariano Diaz has hardly had any playing time this season with Real Madrid as he has only played 156 minutes in 11 competitive matches.

His injuries during the season have meant that he is no longer a key player in Carlo Ancelotti's squad. As a result, Los Blancos announced on Saturday that the Dominican striker will leave the club at the end of the season.

"Real Madrid would like to express our gratitude and affection to Mariano, who was with our youth academy from 2011 to 2016 and in the first team for six seasons, during which time he won 13 titles: 2 European Cups, 3 Club World Cups, 2 European Super Cups, 3 Leagues, 1 King's Cup and 2 Spanish Super Cups. Real Madrid wishes him and all his family the best of luck for the future," Madrid wrote in a statement.

The 29-year-old played six seasons in a Madrid shirt and five years as an academy player. The striker will now have to find a new destination in the next transfer window.
