Many people did not see Jude Bellingham’s record-breaking start to life at Real Madrid coming. This season, the Englishman has been by far the team’s finest player, and he is without a doubt Carlo Ancelotti’s first-choice offensive midfielder.
While his form is pleasing to the Real Madrid administration, it does not bode well for some of the squad’s members. Brahim Diaz is one such kid, who has received limited minutes this season because to the Englishman’s success.
Is he on his way to England?
Newcastle United are among the clubs interested in the Real Madrid winger ahead of the winter transfer window, according to sources from Spain carried by Chronicle Live.
Clubs will be formally allowed to open in the next 48 hours, and Diaz is considered as a viable option by several clubs.
The Magpies are thought to be willing to pay more than £50 million (€57.6 million) for the Spanish playmaker, citing his restricted playing time as a reason for a departure.
They are not, however, the only European behemoths interested in Diaz. Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan are among the top contenders to sign the midfielder if he decides to go, with Aston Villa and West Ham also in the running.
As a result, Newcastle hopes to beat its competitors to the move by negotiating early, beginning in the coming hours when the transfer market officially opens.
Recent ascension to prominence
While the 24-year-old’s time at Real Madrid did not start off well, he has enjoyed a revival in December. Vinicius Jr’s injury, in particular, was the turning point in his condition.
Diaz has impressed for Los Blancos in recent months, starting regularly for the club and contributing four goals in his previous six games across all competitions.
As a result, the former Manchester City player must make a significant decision. It will be difficult to leave Real Madrid at a time when his name is rising in importance, but the truth is that Vinicius’ approaching return will send him to the bench once more.
Real Madrid’s prodigy is set to make his long-awaited debut against Mallorca, but he will be rested in the cup match.
