Brahim Diaz chooses to fight for Real Madrid spot under Mourinho

Juventus is trying very hard to sign Brahim Diaz this summer, having renewed contact with the player’s father to progress a deal, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

The Moroccan winger delivered impressive performances for Real Madrid last season when called upon, especially during injury absences of Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, yet was never viewed as a genuine starter and grew frustrated with his limited role.

Despite Juventus’ enthusiasm and their promise of a more prominent position, Diaz is not open to leaving right now. With Jose Mourinho set to take charge, the 26-year-old wants to present his case to the incoming manager before deciding on his future. It’s a sensible approach. Mourinho has historically valued versatile, technically gifted wide players, and Diaz fits that profile well.

Real Madrid will likely retain him as a valuable squad option regardless, with several clubs monitoring his situation if his stance changes. A standout performance with Morocco in the 2026 World Cup could significantly boost his profile ahead of the new season, potentially reshaping his standing at the club.
