Real Madrid receives last-minute offer to sell Brahim Díaz to Saudi football
25-year-old forward could be on the move in surprise late-window deal
Real Madrid have received a last-minute offer worth approximately €65 million for attacking midfielder Brahim Díaz, according to reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes. The offer, originating from the Saudi Pro League, could prompt Los Blancos to finalize a sale before the close of the European transfer window.
Despite not being a consistent starter, Brahim is considered a valuable asset in manager Xabi Alonso’s squad. However, the unexpected nature and size of the bid reportedly caught both Real Madrid and the player’s camp by surprise and both parties now view the proposal as a significant opportunity.
Club open to negotiations as Saudi salary could sway player
The 25-year-old, who featured in 56 matches last season, is now seriously considering a move to Saudi Arabia, lured by a lucrative salary package and a prominent role in a growing footballing project. For Real Madrid, the fee represents strong business for a player who remains outside their core starting eleven.
While no official agreement has been signed, sources suggest that talks have progressed, and a deal could be finalized in the coming days.
Brahim Díaz: Key stats and recent form
Brahim played under both Carlo Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso last season, contributing six goals and seven assists across all competitions. In the previous campaign, despite more limited minutes, he posted even stronger numbers: 12 goals and eight assists in 44 matches.
A former Manchester City product, Brahim also enjoyed a standout loan spell at AC Milan, where he won the Serie A title and developed into a dynamic attacking presence.
Impact on Real Madrid’s depth and other attackers
Should the transfer go through, it is unlikely Real Madrid will sell additional attacking players this window. The squad already includes rising stars like Endrick and Gonzalo García, both of whom have received loan interest from other European clubs.
Meanwhile, Rodrygo’s future remains uncertain, with interest from PSG reportedly intensifying. However, if Brahim leaves, Rodrygo may remain at the Bernabéu to help fill the creative void.
