The Heartbeat of Morocco’s Title Dream

Brahim Díaz is enjoying a sensational AFCON 2025. The Real Madrid playmaker has emerged as the tournament’s defining figure for Morocco, scoring in every single match played by the Atlas Lions and acting as the driving force behind the host nation’s title push.

All the excitement of AFCON 2025 is available exclusively on beIN Sports.

Goals, creativity and leadership have turned Brahim into the symbol of a Moroccan side that is openly chasing glory on home soil.

Star in Africa, Limited Role in Madrid

Brahim’s dominance with the national team contrasts sharply with his current situation at club level, where minutes have been limited under head coach Xabi Alonso.

That contrast has inevitably reignited discussions around his future, even as those inside Valdebebas insist their long-term faith in the player has never wavered.

A Contract Extension Until 2030 on the Table

With his current deal running until June 2027, Real Madrid’s intention has been clear for some time: secure Brahim’s future until 2030. According to reports, the extension was already agreed last summer, though the club has opted for discretion and has yet to make anything official.

Despite the silence, the message is unmistakable — Brahim is viewed as a key asset moving forward.

Interest Grows, Focus Remains on Madrid

Unsurprisingly, Brahim’s form at AFCON has attracted attention from across Europe and from Saudi Arabia, where clubs continue to monitor his situation closely.

Still, the player’s priority remains unchanged. Brahim Díaz wants more responsibility and more minutes at Real Madrid, convinced that his performances — both in Africa and beyond — prove he is ready for a bigger role.

For now, Morocco marches on powered by its talisman, and Real Madrid know they have a player hitting his prime at exactly the right moment.
