Mariano and Alaves agree to terminate contract this summer

Mariano's future at Alaves appears to be coming to an end. Despite having one year remaining on his contract, the striker's poor performance last season and conflicts with coaching staff have made his position untenable.

The incident with former coach Eduardo Coudet and subsequent lack of playing time under Quique Sanchez Flores have pushed the club towards a separation. Sporting director Sergio Fernandez praised the player's attitude but confirmed the desire to reach a termination agreement.

Mariano is unlikely to see the minutes he wants next season, making a summer exit the most probable outcome.
