Brahim Diaz: Morocco international linked with Real Madrid exit to Besiktas

Morocco international Brahim Diaz is being linked with a move from Real Madrid to Besiktas in Turkey’s Super Lig.

The 27-year-old right winger has a contract with Real Madrid until 30 June 2027, meaning any move would require an agreement between the clubs rather than being a free transfer.

Diaz has made six appearances in La Liga this season, playing 148 minutes, while he has featured three times in the Champions League and provided three assists. He has also started all six of Morocco’s World Cup matches, registering four assists.

The player joined Real Madrid from Manchester City in January 2019 and returned to the Spanish club in 2023 after two seasons on loan at AC Milan. His previous spell in Italy included helping Milan win the Serie A title in 2021-22.

Diaz has won the Champions League and Spanish title with Real Madrid, and was part of Morocco’s Africa Cup-winning side in 2025. He also finished as the tournament’s top scorer during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and its qualification campaign.

His market value is listed at €35m, while his current deal leaves Real Madrid in a position to determine whether to consider a proposal from Besiktas. The reported interest remains a rumour, with Diaz still a Real Madrid player and under contract through the end of the 2026-27 season.
