Real Madrid has secured the long-term future of attacking midfielder Brahim Diaz, with the 26-year-old Moroccan international agreeing to a contract extension, according to sources including ESPN. Diaz, whose current deal was set to expire in 2027, has signed a new long-term arrangement, with an official announcement expected in the coming weeks. This move reinforces his pivotal role in new manager Xabi Alonso’s squad as the club aims to reclaim the La Liga title and excel in the UEFA Champions League.
Since returning from a successful loan spell at AC Milan in 2023, Diaz has become an integral part of Real Madrid’s attacking options, contributing eight goals and six assists in 56 appearances last season. His versatility across the front line and knack for impactful substitute appearances have impressed Alonso, who personally contacted Diaz before the season to outline his vision. “Brahim was very satisfied after the conversation with the new Real Madrid manager,” a source told ESPN, highlighting the key role this discussion played in his decision to stay.
Despite interest from clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and offers from other European sides during the 2024 transfer window, Diaz has consistently expressed his desire to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu. His commitment aligns with Real Madrid’s broader renewal strategy, following recent contract extensions for Thibaut Courtois and young forward Gonzalo Garcia. The club is also in talks with Vinicius Jr. and Joan Martinez, signaling a focus on retaining core talent under Alonso’s leadership.
Diaz’s new deal strengthens Real Madrid’s squad depth as they prepare for a demanding 2025-26 season. With his proven ability to deliver in high-pressure situations, the Moroccan international is poised to play a more prominent role, especially with the expanded fixture list including the FIFA Club World Cup. Fans can expect an official confirmation soon, marking another step in Real Madrid’s ambitious project under Alonso.
