Linked with Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray in the summer: Brahim Díaz now on Beşiktaş's radar
Beşiktaş are reported to have put Brahim Díaz, short of regular minutes at Real Madrid, on their transfer agenda. The Moroccan's contract runs out in June 2027.
Real Madrid's Brahim Díaz is reported to have entered Beşiktaş's transfer plans. The Beşiktaş board is said to have discussed the possibility of signing the Morocco international, who has struggled for regular playing time at the Spanish giants this season. The 27-year-old attacker, whose market value stands at 35 million euros, is under contract with Real Madrid until June 2027.
A product of the Manchester City academy, Díaz signed for Real Madrid in January 2019 for a transfer fee of 17 million euros. The talented player later spent time on loan at AC Milan, where he recorded 18 goals and 14 assists in 124 matches. In his Real Madrid career, he has reached 22 goals and 33 assists in a total of 172 appearances. Having hit a career-high market value of 45 million euros, the player is currently valued at around 35 million euros.
According to the information received, Brahim Díaz is among the priority names the Beşiktaş board wants to add to the squad if the conditions are right. The Istanbul club is said to have looked into the cost of a deal for the Morocco international, while during last summer's transfer window the player's name was also frequently linked with Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, but no move materialised.
Financial terms are expected to be the decisive factor in any Brahim Díaz deal. Last summer, Real Madrid's high transfer fee demand, along with the player's own double-digit annual salary demand, caused the Turkish clubs to back off. With his contract running until 2027, Real Madrid's stance in negotiations and the player's salary demand will determine how the process unfolds for Beşiktaş.
Díaz, who has had limited playing time at Real Madrid this season, has been on the pitch for a total of 148 minutes across 6 LaLiga matches. In the Champions League, he has played 100 minutes in 3 matches, contributing 3 assists. The star player has been named in the starting line-up only 2 times in his 9 appearances in all competitions.
