With 50 appearances across all competitions this season, Brahim Díaz has been one of Carlo Ancelotti’s most used players. However, the Moroccan international’s record reveals a mixed reality: 6 goals, 7 assists… but very few starts. The Real Madrid attacking midfielder has mostly been used as a substitute, a role that no longer seems to suit him.
As Real Madrid prepares for a new era with a managerial change, Díaz is seeking assurances about his place in the squad. But with increasingly fierce competition – notably from Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, Vinícius Jr, and Arda Güler – his playing time doesn’t seem poised for improvement.
With just a few months left until the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which Morocco will host, Brahim Díaz – who already has 10 caps and 8 goals for the Atlas Lions – needs more playing time to stay competitive. Therefore, a transfer is seriously being considered this summer. His value, estimated at 45 million euros by Transfermarkt, has attracted interest from several clubs.
Paris Saint-Germain, managed by Luis Enrique and where his compatriot Achraf Hakimi plays, is keen. Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, has also marked his name, while AC Milan dreams of bringing back a player who made a strong impression during his time in Serie A.
Will Brahim Díaz’s future be away from Madrid? The answer is expected in the coming weeks, as a summer that could be a turning point in his career approaches.
