Alvaro Morata will likely return to Real Madrid so he can fight with Benzema for the place in the lineup. However in case of his return, Jesé's minutes will probably be reduced even though he played only 1,256 minutes from a possible 4,860, or 27%).
First, Real Madrid wanted to send Morata on a loan again, but they have changed their plans. But then someone will have to go, and that is probably Jesé. Real Madrid wants to renew Jesé's contract which expires in Juni 2017, because if he leaves they would like him to go with buy-back clause, as was the case with Dani Caravajal when he left for Leverkusen in 2012. Jesé was close to leaving the Spanish capital at the end of season 2014-2015. Benitez assured him of his importance. Now there is a different situation, but Jesé is really close to leaving Champions League winners. |
