Real Madrid Star Brahim Diaz’s Origin Story: The FC Barcelona Agreement at 12
Real Madrid‘s rising star, Brahim Diaz, has a fascinating origin story that involves a potential agreement with FC Barcelona when he was just 12 years old, a recent report reveals.
Currently on loan at AC Milan before making impressive returns to the Bernabeu, Diaz has been showcasing his talent with stellar performances, notably scoring crucial goals for Real Madrid in key matches.
His most recent goal came in a Champions League clash against RB Leipzig, where he secured a 1-0 victory for the Spanish giants.
Prior to his success at Real Madrid, Diaz’s career trajectory could have taken a different turn as his talent caught the attention of both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona at a young age.
Reports suggest that when Diaz was 12 and playing for Malaga, FC Barcelona showed interest in signing him, and the young player was excited about the prospect of joining the Catalan club.
However, a lucrative offer from Malaga’s owner, Sheikh Abdullah Bin Jassim Al Thani, persuaded Diaz’s family to remain in Malaga instead of moving to FC Barcelona.
Subsequently, Diaz’s journey led him to Manchester City, where he had a brief stint before eventually being signed by Real Madrid for a reported fee of $19.4 million, marking the beginning of his journey with the Spanish powerhouse.
Currently, Diaz’s performance on the field is catching the eye of Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, as he continues to make vital contributions to the team, especially in the absence of key players like Rodrygo.
Just like Vinicius Jr., whose father also had initial discussions with FC Barcelona before his move to Real Madrid, Diaz’s potential move to FC Barcelona at a young age could have reshaped his career entirely.
