Juventus insist on summer signing of Real Madrid forward | OneFootball

After completely four signings earlier in the summer, Real Madrid have turned their attention to exits in recent weeks. Several first team players have chances to be sold during the ongoing transfer window, and one of them appears to be Brahim Diaz.

Brahim has been an important squad player for Real Madrid since returning from AC Milan three years ago, but with the addition of Bernardo Silva and return of Endrick Felipe from Lyon, there is a strong chance that he drops down the pecking order under Jose Mourinho. If that happens, it would open the door to a sale.

Brahim is prepared to leave if Real Madrid tell him that he is no longer counted on, and that is how Juventus want things to play out over the coming weeks. As per reports from Italy (via MD), the Serie A giants have identified the Morocco international as one of their leading targets, per the request of head coach Luciano Spalletti.

Brahim intends to stay, but sale could be inevitable

For the moment, Brahim is fully focused on returning for pre-season with Real Madrid, at which point Mourinho will run the rule over him. If it’s decided that he will be part of his plans for the 2026-27 season, the chances of a summer exit will be ruled out.

However, if there is any uncertainty, it would point towards an exit. His contract at Real Madrid expires at the end of next season, so now would be the best time to cash in so that they do not relinquish his services for nothing.

It will be interesting to see how the situation with Brahim plays out over the coming weeks. No decision will be made until Mourinho rules on his place in the first team, so until then, Juventus will be made to wait.
