Real Madrid continues to plan its squad for next season, but it still has several questions to solve. Xabi Alonso's squad is extensive and the future of some players is hanging in the air. One of those who has caused the most doubts is Brahim Díaz, who has never been an undisputed starter and has received several important offers, including from Saudi Arabia and Tottenham.
Both Saudi Arabia and Tottenham have contacted Brahim Díaz's inner circle. They have put forward long-term contracts for the next five seasons, with a salary much higher than Real Madrid's. At 26 years old, he has had to decide among all the options he has, and he already knows where he will play next season.
Contract renewal completed
Everything is ready for the Spanish-Moroccan to stay at Real Madrid. "Madrid-Barcelona" has been able to confirm that he has already conveyed his approval for his contract renewal to stay at Santiago Bernabéu.
Brahim Díaz has accepted all the proposed conditions, since he only ever wanted to stay at Madrid. He is happy in the capital of Spain and has rejected all approaches for his departure.
He is happy with a secondary role and playing for the team of his dreams. It is expected that he will soon sign his contract renewal, thus sealing his future at Real Madrid.
A golden backup
Brahim Díaz has earned the respect of Madridists through effort, talent, and consistency. In a squad full of stars like Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr., or Mbappé, the Málaga native has shown that there is also glory in the role of a backup. At Real Madrid they are clear: Brahim is the perfect game-changer, the quiet player who always delivers when needed.
In the 2024/25 season, Brahim played in 56 matches, totaling 2,289 minutes, 6 goals, and 8 assists. Beyond the numbers, his impact on the game is evident: he breaks lines, takes on defenders without fear, and provides solutions at key moments. Whether in LaLiga, Champions League, or Copa del Rey matches, the number 21 for Madrid has managed to respond with personality and quality.
From Madrid, his role has been applauded by the fans and is now valued by Xabi Alonso, who trusts him as that top-level wildcard capable of playing in several attacking positions.
Trained at Málaga, tested at Manchester City, and established at AC Milan, Brahim has returned to Santiago Bernabéu with maturity and experience. His story is that of a footballer who doesn't need the spotlight to shine. Because in a team full of Galácticos, sometimes the role of a backup is as crucial as that of the protagonist.
