It's a great team, Brahim Díaz is considering it, the offer is on the table, goodbye.

Real Madrid's '21' knows that it's a great opportunity and doesn't rule anything out

Brahim Díaz is experiencing a complex situation at Bernabéu. The Málaga native was signed by Real Madrid in 2019 from Manchester City for only 17 million in a brilliant move by Florentino Pérez. The president took advantage of the fact that the player wanted to leave Pep Guardiola's team and went for his signing.

However, his progression at Bernabéu was not immediate. The enormous competition in his position forced the club to look for a destination where he could have a leading role. Thus, Brahim Díaz tried to convince the white board at AC Milan, where he grew as a footballer and became one of the great references in Serie A.

From Milan to Bernabéu to be important with Ancelotti

In Italy, he proved to be decisive. His goals, assists, and leadership were key for Milan to win a Scudetto again after many years without one. That version of Brahim convinced Carlo Ancelotti, who expressly requested his return in 2023.

Since then, Brahim has established himself as a very valuable player in the locker room. He never complains about the minutes he gets, he always contributes from the bench, and he has managed to earn the respect of his teammates. The fans also recognize his commitment every time he steps on the field.

Brahim's role with Xabi Alonso is not the same

However, Xabi Alonso's arrival has meant a change of scenario. The new coach has a very deep squad and the competition for the attacking midfield position is fierce. With Arda Güler, Jude Bellingham, and even Rodrygo as alternatives, Brahim's role has been reduced.

Despite his professionalism and exemplary attitude, Brahim is starting to consider a change of scenery if the situation doesn't improve. With barely any minutes, the possibility of leaving in the January transfer window is not far-fetched. The truth is that there is already a club determined to make a strong move for him.

Benfica under José Mourinho are very interested in Brahim Díaz

José Mourinho appears once again on Real Madrid's horizon. Benfica already tried to sign Brahim last summer, but negotiations did not succeed. Now, with the Portuguese coach on the bench, the intention is to try again in the upcoming winter transfer window.

Mourinho wants Brahim as an important piece in his project. He knows that at Bernabéu it is difficult for him to be a starter and intends to convince him that in Lisbon he will be able to shine consistently. For now, at Real Madrid there is no decision made, but the truth is that the Málaga native's future is more open than ever.
