Real Madrid is close to renewing the contract of the attacking midfielder until 2030.
Despite the agreement between the parties, the club has not yet officially confirmed the renewal.
Real Madrid has a deal in place to renew Brahim Díaz ‘s contract until 2030, according to information released on the Spanish radio program “Cadena SER” called El Larguero. Despite the agreement between the parties, the club has not yet officially confirmed the renewal, and the contract has not yet been signed.
According to reports, the negotiation was conducted quickly and smoothly, with the player’s active participation, and the agreement had been in place since before last summer. Both Real Madrid and Brahim’s entourage opted to handle the matter discreetly while awaiting the formalization of the contract. The delay, however, comes amid interest from European clubs and Saudi Arabian football in the player.
The sporting context is also part of the discussion. Brahim Díaz seeks greater prominence, with more playing time and opportunities similar to those given to other players in the squad. Comparing the last few seasons, the attacking midfielder accumulated more than 800 minutes under Carlo Ancelotti, while with Xabi Alonso he has not yet reached the 500-minute mark, despite remaining prominent during the Africa Cup of Nations.
Renewal underway and ‘essential’ status at Real Madrid
With a contract valid until 2027, Brahim Díaz is seen by Real Madrid as an essential piece for the team’s future. Therefore, negotiations for a renewal for “several more years” have been ongoing for months and are at an advanced stage. According to the Spanish press, the official announcement shouldn’t be long in coming, but neither the club nor the player are in a hurry to seal an agreement that is already well-defined.
Brahim’s desire to stay is the main obstacle for other clubs. The most recent to show interest was Benfica, from Portugal, but in the past Fenerbahçe, from Turkey, and other teams also made inquiries. However, no offer has become concrete, as everyone knows that the player’s top priority is to remain in Madrid.
