Brahim Diaz future draws Borussia Dortmund interest despite Real Madrid obstacle

Borussia Dortmund have set their sights on Brahim Diaz as a key attacking reinforcement for the summer, viewing the Real Madrid playmaker as an ideal addition to their forward line.

The Bundesliga club, already in negotiations with Madrid over defender Nico Schlotterbeck, have asked about Brahim’s availability ahead of the next transfer window.

The Moroccan international has taken his chance in recent weeks, starting back-to-back matches during the absences of Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo and delivering lively, influential performances. His ability to operate across the frontline suits Dortmund’s push to close the gap on Bayern Munich and remain competitive in the Champions League.

However, any deal will be complicated by his contract situation. Brahim is believed to have extended his Real Madrid deal until 2031, making him a long-term project for the Spanish giants rather than a player they are eager to offload.

Madrid’s attack is crowded again with Mbappe fit, Rodrygo returning, and young talent Endrick back from loan, yet Brahim is settled in the city and determined to fight for a regular starting spot under Alvaro Arbeloa rather than seek an exit.
