Wolfsburg cast line for Borja Mayoral: "He's been outstanding"

With Álvaro Morata bought back from Juventus, Real Madrid now have four strikers in the squad, a blessing - or a curse - depending on who's perspective you're looking at it from. What is clear is that thanks to this overstocking in the attacking tank, European clubs see opportunites to fish in the crowded waters, hoping to hook a bargain for the beginning of the 2016/17 season. Wolfsburg are the latest to impail a writhing worm on a hook and drop it in teeming white waters. 

The German team has fixed their gaze on Borja Mayoral, a player they see as the ideal reinforcement for their attack. Klaus Allofs, the Bavarian club's sporting director, has already made some public utterances designed to lure the promising young striker away from Madrid. 'Piropos' is the word in Spanish, compliments, kind words, flattery is the strategy, praising Mayoral for his performances this past season: "Mayoral has shone in performances in the Youth League and with Castilla", sang Allofs, hoping to inspire a response from the blanco promise.
