Real Madrid has clearly defined its intentions regarding the future of Brahim Díaz, the 24-year-old Moroccan newcomer to the national team. Following interest from several clubs in the Lions of the Atlas’ attacking midfielder (2 caps) for the upcoming season, the Madrid club has decided to set his transfer price.
Returning after a two-year loan spell at AC Milan, Brahim Díaz has played 34 matches (8 goals) so far this season and has managed to establish himself in Carlo Ancelotti’s team, although he is not an undisputed starter. Given the ultra-competitive nature of Real Madrid’s squad, this is still a notable achievement.
The club’s leadership, led by Florentino Pérez, seems reluctant to facilitate the departure of the Moroccan newcomer. This is evidenced by the set transfer fee of around €60 million, according to fichajes! A substantial sum intended to deter potential suitors.
Will Kylian Mbappé change everything?
However, the current context suggests that Díaz’s future at Real Madrid may not be secure. Intermediaries have approached the player, urging him to consider a departure, particularly due to the likely arrival of Kylian Mbappé, which could significantly reduce his playing time.
Despite these speculations, the Malaga native seems determined to stay and fight for his place in the team, although the situation may evolve by next season. In the meantime, he will try to help the Madrid club maintain its lead in La Liga and pursue a fifteenth Champions League title. The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will take place next Tuesday in Madrid against Manchester City. Díaz will certainly hope to shine against his former club.
