Mariano Díaz, a 32-year-old centre-forward who has been capped twice by the Dominican Republic, is in a difficult situation at Alavés, where he has not played since mid-December. He attracted interest from Leganés during the January transfer window. However, a move was not finalized, as his salary was considered nearly impossible for other clubs to match at this time. Alavés understood the player's position of holding on to his contract, which is valid for the rest of this season and one more. In LaLiga this season, he has made nine appearances without scoring a goal. His current valuation is €800k, according to Transfermarkt.
