Real Madrid continues its search for a central defender, although it is difficult to think of a major investment in January. According to Marca , one of the profiles being evaluated is Mario Hermoso , formerly of Atletico Madrid who now plays for Roma . The Spaniard has already worn the Blancos jersey in the past and it is not certain that he will not do so again, this time as an important player for the first team and not for Real Madrid Castilla.

The situation at the Giallorossi, the club where Hermoso now plays, is not the best, with Ivan Juric having been sacked yesterday, as the club’s statement states: “We want to thank Ivan Juric for his hard work in recent weeks. He has managed a difficult environment with the utmost professionalism, and for this we are grateful. We wish him all the best for his future. The search for a new technical area manager has already begun and will be announced in the coming days”.

Juric’s numbers at Roma
After an interesting start in the championship, with two wins against Udinese and Venezia, Juric’s Roma has jammed. The draw with Monza, then the defeat with Inter before the 5-1 debacle against Fiorentina at the Franchi. The success against Torino seemed to be a new turning point, instead here in rapid succession the defeats against Verona and Bologna today. The overall, therefore, speaks of 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats with 12 goals scored and 14 conceded, with an average of 1.25 points per game. Things didn’t go any better in the Europa League, where they got 4 points in 4 games: draws against Athletic Club and Union SG, victory with Dinamo Kiev and defeat at home to Elfsborg. Numbers that have already strongly influenced the Giallorossi season and that, according to the official press release from Roma, led the Friedkin family to change the technical leadership. With the name of Roberto Mancini hovering ever more concretely over the Capital.
