Mariano Diaz wants to stay with Real Madrid next month.

Marca says he is determined to stay until the end of this season at least and prove to Zinedine Zidane that he can have an impact.

His quality in front of goal has never been in doubt, given that he is a man who scored 27 times in his final year with Real Madrid Castilla.

Espanyol, Valencia, Sporting Gijon, Sevilla and Leganes have all expressed an interest in the Barcelona-born forward as have clubs around the continent.

However, Mariano is firm in his belief that he can make a dent in the Real first team and is keen to convince Zidane of the same thing.
