Borja Mayoral

Mayoral scoring against Benfica in the youth Champions League

When he was shipped off on loan to Wolfsburg, a lot of people expected him to come back and become a mainstay at the Bernabeu. And they couldn’t be blamed for such a thought, could they? Mayoral was breaking records at youth level and was dubbed as the next Raul during his stable progression in the lower ranks.

A move to Germany was akin to another canterano, Dani Carvajal's, journey as the Spanish right-back played at Bayer Leverkusen for a year before being bought back to become the best right-back in the world along with Dani Alves.

However, Mayoral’s time at Wolfsburg was forgettable, but he has been kept due to the sale of both Mariano Diaz and Alvaro Morata. The trust placed on him was so much that Zidane refused to sign a backup and chose to keep him at the club.

So far, he hasn’t shown any signs of improvement and it is going to be a long season for both the fans and the player should things not change.
