Monaco are ready to go all out to sign Mariano Real Madrid They're desperate to make the transfer happen

Leonardo Jardim has been clear with Monaco and has told the club's hierarchy that he wants Mariano Diaz.

Those in charge at the Ligue 1 side will do all they can to grant him his wish.

Such is their interest that they're lining up an offer that Mariano himself wouldn't be able to turn down, despite his desire being to stay at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu to fight for his place.

Zinedine Zidane doesn't appear to have any plans for the forward and he hasn't played a minute yet this pre-season.

Offers haven't been lacking for Mariano, but should Monaco put an offer on the table that he can't turn down then he could well set off for the Ligue 1 side for 2019/20.

It was in the French league that he showed his very best form with Lyon in 2017/18, scoring 21 goals and providing seven assists in his 45 matches.
