Moroccan star Brahim Díaz’s time at Real Madrid may be coming to an end as the Spanish club looks to offload players to ease financial pressures; Real Madrid has been exploring options like renting out the Santiago Bernabéu stadium for concerts, the Madrid leadership has now shifted focus to player sales, according to “foot mercato.”
After Madrid City Council raised concerns about noise issues with the stadium rental, Real Madrid is now leaning toward winter transfers as a way to balance its books.
Díaz, who joined the club in 2019 for EUR 17.3 million, is reportedly on the list of players likely to leave. Despite being a key team contributor for Morocco, his role at the Spanish club has dwindled , with the midfielder often starting off the match on the bench.
In the current season, he has made eight appearances across all competitions, scoring one goal and two assists.
His market value, according to Transfermarkt, is estimated at EUR 40 million, making him an attractive option for various top European clubs. Díaz’s versatility and ability to change games as a substitute have kept him valuable, even if he has not featured as a regular starter.
The race to sign Díaz on loan in La Liga is heated, with four teams interested.
Getafe, Real Betis, Espanyol, and Real Sociedad have all indicated interest in the attacking midfielder.
Los Blancos are expected to send Díaz to Sociedad, where he will replace Martin Odegaard, who will return to the Santiago Bernabéu following a good loan spell with Basques, “Telegrafi” said.
Currently, Díaz is with the Moroccan national team in Gabon for international fixtures against Gabon and Lesotho, part of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The player’s future at Madrid is uncertain. The situation will be closely watched as the January transfer window approaches.
