Mariano Diaz Closes the Door on Bruno Petkovic at Deportivo Alaves: Spanish Football Drama Unfolds!
What’s going on at Deportivo Alaves? While Croatian striker Bruno Petkovic is still searching for a club after terminating his contract with Dinamo Zagreb, Spanish La Liga side Deportivo Alaves has brought in Mariano Diaz, a former Real Madrid and Sevilla player, to train with the team for the new season. And this is no small deal! Mariano Diaz, 31, from the Dominican Republic, is training with Alaves, but the club has not yet revealed if they will sign him.
This move casts a huge shadow over Petkovic’s potential arrival, who has been the center of media attention for weeks due to a possible transfer to Alaves. The 30-year-old Croatian international left Dinamo Zagreb, but his transfer to Turkish Kocaelispor fell through. Now it seems the door is slowly closing on him at Alaves, as Diaz’s arrival could mean the end of Petkovic’s chances at the club.
Spanish radio station Cadena Ser reported that Diaz’s arrival could definitively close the door on Petkovic. Alaves’ sporting director said ten days ago that Petkovic is a desirable player but refused to say if his arrival depends on Diaz. Alaves finished last season 15th in La Liga, just two points above Leganes who were relegated. The club clearly needs reinforcements, but is Petkovic really on their wishlist or is this just media hype?
Mariano Diaz played his last match in Spain in May for Sevilla against Barcelona and is now returning to Alaves, where he spent a year previously. His career is impressive, but the question remains if the club will sign him or if this is just a tactic to keep Petkovic at bay.
For Bruno Petkovic, this is a real football thriller. Will he manage to find a club and continue his career, or will Mariano Diaz literally shut the door on him in Spanish football? All eyes are on Deportivo Alaves, and we can only wait and watch this drama unfold.
