He joined Manchester City from Malaga’s youth system. After making 15 first-team appearances, Moroccan midfielder Brahim Diaz moved to Real Madrid in 2019. After a loan spell at AC Milan, Diaz has improved rapidly, scoring 12 goals and providing nine assists in 44 games for the Spanish capital this season.

Liverpool are interested in acquiring a new attacker for the 24-year-old attacking midfielder, who has also played for Spain, and are preparing an official offer of £42 million in the summer transfer window, reports Fichajes.

He has changed sides and made four appearances for Morocco, making his debut in March 2024. At an age approaching the peak of his career, a goal-scoring midfielder who can play not only as an attacking midfielder but also as a second striker or right winger is a valuable asset.

Liverpool’s decision-making in front of goal declined towards the end of the season, so an attacker who can directly contribute to the scoring is a talent they are desperate to have. He has not been a regular under Carlo Ancelotti and may see even less playing time at a club where Kylian Mbappe and others are also joining.

However, Real Madrid are not going to let him go easily and are expected to demand £50.7 million, according to the paper, with Liverpool needing at least £8 million more.

The problem is that Fabio Carvalho, who was very successful at Hull City, is also not a priority in positions like the top half of the park.

There are also some promising young players in midfield, in addition to an excellent midfielder, and there is not enough money to allocate the limited budget.

He is likely to remain at Madrid next season by default, but will he ever be in search of a new home this summer…?
