Real Madrid have had a very busy summer transfer window so far, with official window not even open yet. The club utilized the special transfer window for clubs participating in the club World Cup to finalize 3 signings in Trent, Huijsen and Franco Mastantuono. Now, they’re focused on contract renewals. After reaching an agreement to extend Raul Asencio’s contract on a 6 years term, Fabrizio Romano has just confirmed another contract extension is over the line.
The player in question is Brahim Diaz, whose current contract at the club runs until 2027. Real Madrid are looking to tie him down on a long term deal, until 2030. As per Fabrizio, the player has already said YES. Only an official announcement remains. Brahim’s ultimate dream is to succeed at Real Madrid, and he’s ready to face competition head on.
Xabi Alonso appreciates the player’s profile a lot.
According to Marca, new boss Xabi Alonso is a big fan of Brahim Diaz. The Spaniard sees the player’s profile, as one not available in any other squad. His abilities to play as a RW and AM are highly valued in the squad.
It’s also important to note that during his Bayer Leverkusen days, Brahim Diaz was one of the players rumored to have received interest from Alonso. His admiration for the player goes way back. Now that he’s on his side, the manager is looking to unlock his full potentials.
Of course with signings like that of Franco over the line and Rodrygo still at the club, it’s hard to imagine Brahim as a starter. The plan is to manage him as a rotation player, and a reliable backup in times of injury. The quality is there to succeed at Real Madrid.
As we earlier said, the player is unperturbed by the competition in the squad. All he needs is a chance and he’ll show why he deserves to play.
