Arsenal has set its sights on one of the least prominent players at Real Madrid this season. Brahim Díaz, a midfielder with great talent and a promising future, hasn't had many opportunities in Carlo Ancelotti's team. Despite his quality and strong performances, Brahim has been one of the major absentees in the Italian coach's plans.
Brahim Díaz, the forgotten figure in Madrid
Brahim hasn't started in most matches this season. Although his technical quality isn't in doubt, his prominence at Real Madrid has been almost nonexistent.
This has led him to consider his future at the club, especially with the arrival of Xabi Alonso, which hasn't improved his situation. Brahim is seeking more playing time and, since he doesn't see it on the immediate horizon in Madrid, he might be looking for a new destination.
Arsenal willing to make a major offer
In this situation, Arsenal has decided to try to sign Brahim Díaz. The London team already tried last year, but the player chose to stay at Real Madrid.
This time, the circumstances are different. With the lack of opportunities at the white club, Arsenal has decided to improve its offer to tempt the footballer. The proposal includes €40 million ($40 million) guaranteed plus €10 million ($10 million) in add-ons, which could be enough for Brahim to accept a change of scenery.
The English club sees Brahim as a player with a lot of potential who, under the right management, could shine and become a key piece for Mikel Arteta's project. The possibility of signing a quality player at a reasonable price is something Arsenal doesn't want to miss.
Renewal or departure?
It's interesting to see how Florentino Pérez has decided to activate Brahim's contract renewal in response to Arsenal's offer. This could be a strategy to increase his value or ensure that, if he leaves, he does so under the best conditions for the club. However, if Brahim ultimately chooses to join Arsenal, his departure could become a reality this summer.
Brahim Díaz's future depends on Florentino Pérez, who will decide whether he stays at Madrid or leaves for the Premier League. What seems clear is that Arsenal's interest and the player's situation have left an open exit door for Brahim.
