Real Madrid have begun to determine the future of their current squad, having reportedly informed each player whether they are part of the club’s plans moving forward. The players, in turn, have responded to these decisions.
Los Blancos are now building a new attacking structure. Franco Mastantuono has just arrived in Spain and is reportedly set to take over the right wing from the very beginning.
Rodrygo’s future, as always, remains a major question. Renewal talks with Vinicius Jr are ongoing, and Kylian Mbappe is expected to return soon.
One name Real Madrid have never doubted is Brahim Diaz. His impact off the bench has proven invaluable, and the club has offered him a contract extension, which is currently being finalized, according to leading journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Brahim Diaz’s new Real Madrid contract is almost ready
According to Romano, Brahim has accepted all terms of the new deal and has always been clear about his desire to stay at Real Madrid.
While he may not be as high-profile as Vinicius or Mbappe, Brahim possesses the rare ability to change the game within minutes.
Under Carlo Ancelotti, a late substitution involving Brahim almost always spelled trouble for the opposition. His impact, whether operating centrally or out wide, was often immediate and decisive, with match-winning contributions.
Brahim may not be in contention for a guaranteed starting role, but that is neither his profile nor the expectation Madrid have of him. He has always been a damn good “super-sub” and is expected to be such.
However, if Rodrygo’s future ends up being resolved away from Madrid, Brahim’s playing time will naturally see a major boost.
Rodrygo’s future remains uncertain, but Brahim’s is now secure. A new contract will tie him to Madrid for several more years, and it will be exciting to see how Xabi Alonso plans to use him.
