Lyon signed Mariano on the 30th of July 2017
He formerly played for Spanish giants Real Madrid
⚽ **TRANSFERS: Ligue-1 2017/18** ⚽
Player: Mariano Diaz
Age: 24 years
Position: Centre Forward
To: Olympique Lyon
From: Real Madrid
Transfer Fee: €8 Million
Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyon completed the signing of young Spanish attacker Mariano from Real Madrid, signing a 5-year contract with the club after struggling to find first team opportunities. He will partner Bertrand Traore & Memphis Depay in Lyon's 3-man attack.
Mariano began his rise to the Real Madrid first team through the youth system by making 43 appearances and scoring 32 goals.
He was promoted to the first team at the start of the 2016/17 season. But since then, he managed just 14 first team appearances, scoring 5 goals mainly as a substitute.
After strongly being linked with an exit, Lyon have pounced to sign a talented young European attacker. Lyon have the reputation of developing young players and Mariano is tipped to become a future star. His main goal would be to help Lyon's goals for the season and manage to make a possible breakthrough for the Spanish National side.
He has already made 3 appearances in Ligue 1, and has scored 3 goals. So it's safe to say that he is quickly settling into life in France. He is not a tall centre forward, but with a low centre of gravity he brings pace through the middle which will largely benefit Lyon's 3 man attack. All the best to him.
