A fresh report from Fichajes has revealed that Arsenal have tabled a €50 million offer for Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz.
It is said that within Real Madrid, there is no doubt about Brahim’s quality.
The 26-year-old is admired for his versatility, close control, and ability to change the rhythm of a game, whether coming off the bench or starting in different attacking roles.
He remains under contract until 2027 and is seen as a reliable squad player who can cover multiple positions across the front line.
However, the reality is that competition in Madrid’s attack is fierce, and consistent minutes have been hard to come by.
It is said that Arsenal believe the timing is right to strike, viewing Brahim’s limited role as a clear market opening.
From their perspective, the midfielder offers creativity, experience at the highest level, and room to grow into a more central role, something he may struggle to achieve at the Santiago Bernabeu.
At Valdebebas, the offer has sparked internal debate, as €50 million is considered a very strong bid for a player who is not a guaranteed starter every week.

Some within the club see it as a chance to generate funds that could be reinvested to strengthen other areas of the squad.
Others argue that letting go of a proven, versatile option could weaken depth, especially across a long and demanding season.
Real Madrid are also aware that Brahim’s recent international displays have boosted his market value.
His performances at the AFCON have drawn attention and reinforced Arsenal’s belief that he is worth a significant investment.
At the same time, the situation may not be as straightforward as it seems.
Recent reports suggest that Real Madrid and Brahim have already agreed on a contract extension that would keep him at the club until the summer of 2030.
If that renewal has indeed been finalised, it would place Madrid in a much stronger negotiating position.
With more years on his deal, the club would have little pressure to sell and could demand an even higher fee.
