Rabat – Morocco’s international star Brahim Diaz is expected to stay with Real Madrid as part of a potential new agreement.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano announced the news today, noting that Real Madrid is closing in on a new deal for Diaz.
“It’s almost done,” he said, adding that negotiations for an agreement are already at the “advanced stages.”
“Brahim wants to stay, and the formal agreement will be sealed soon. Next ones to extend: Brahim and Thibaut Courtois,” the analyst concluded.
Converging reports and fans have been concerned that Real Madrid could find a new home for Diaz, especially after the arrival of Argentina’s wonderkid Franco Mastantuono.
Real Madrid’s coach Xabi Alonso, however, has stressed that Diaz is staying.
Sports news outlet Madrid-Barcelona said Alonso “picked up the phone, and he called Brahim to make it clear that he wants him in his project. He wants him on his team, as part of the new Real Madrid that he’s building from the ground up, and that gesture, that personal interest, hasn’t gone unnoticed by the player.”
This season, Diaz played 31 games in La Liga, during which he scored four goals. In the UEFA Champions League, he took part in the tournament 11 times,producing two goals.
