Xabi Alonso has repeatedly emphasized the potential of Real Madrid’s squad. A potential that he has not yet had time to fully exploit, but he is clear that he does not want to lose it, which is why he has closed the door on several players such as Camavinga and Ceballos. Although it is true that he has asked for reinforcements and that in order for them to arrive, some players will have to leave, there are players who, at least for the moment, he has declared as non-transferable, and one of them appears to be Brahim, who, given the interest of some teams in the market, has made a firm decision about his future.
Brahim and his renewal
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed a few days ago that attacking midfielder Brahim Díaz will sign a new contract with the club, following in the footsteps of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Both deals are already done and will be formalized in the coming days. “After Courtois, Brahim will also sign a new contract with Real Madrid: both deals are done and ready to be formally sealed,” Fabrizio wrote on his social media. The Malaga-born player’s renewal was already announced by Daniel Cayetano in Bernabéu Digital, and now it seems that the extension of a contract that was due to expire in 2027 is about to be signed.
The renewal comes at a difficult time for the player. Xabi Alonso believes he has great potential that he wants to exploit more than Ancelotti has done, but during the Club World Cup, he barely played. He enjoyed few minutes on the pitch, although it is true that the coach did not have enough time with the team to try things out and fit the pieces together. That work begins now, starting on August 4.
Milan as a temptation
With his renewal yet to be signed and having played few minutes in the Club World Cup, Milan has seen the perfect breeding ground to try to cast its net over the Real Madrid attacking midfielder. The Rossoneri club is looking to bring back the player, who already played on loan at Milan for two seasons, according to OK Diario.
At first, it never seemed like a viable alternative, as he has a contract in force and, as we said, his renewal until 2030 was on track and with good relations between the parties. However, it is true that competition this season is increasing with the arrival of Franco Mastantuono and the incursion of Gonzalo García, so the player had his doubts about whether his role would decline even further until becoming residual.
Decision made
Brahim Díaz’s future continues to lie with Real Madrid. This is according to OK Diario, which considers the player’s renewal and commitment to the club to be a done deal. The Malaga-born player trusts the word and confidence of the coach, who believes in his potential and what he can bring to the team in different positions. From August 4, Brahim will be one of the players at Valdebebas looking to convince the coach that he deserves a more prominent role, although it is true that the player has always willingly accepted his role as the 12th player, the perfect substitute, and that is why he has decided to continue at the Santiago Bernabéu.
