There remains just about a month until the winter market opens up and rumors suggest that Real Madrid
will be active. El Laguero, an affiliate of Cadena SER, reported that
Brahim Diaz, one of the most talented youngsters playing his trade out
of Spain, is an objective for Madrid—not on a free in the summer, but
immediately in the winter market. He is yet to renew his deal with
Manchester City that expires in 2019, with many clubs swooning over
Brahim’s potential signature
From an economical standpoint, the decision to sign
Brahim Diaz in the winter market makes very little sense. Unless the
club feel the 19-year-old, with only a handful of professional games
under his belt, could make an immediate impact on the sporting side.
Where he fits in the team remains to be seen, but the clubs stockpile of
U20 talent continues to grow: Rodrygo Goes, Vinicius Jr, Martin
Odeegard, Fede Valverde, Exequiel Palacios (pending official
confirmation), Theo Hernandez, and Andriy Lunin are among the big names.
That list excludes some good talent rising through the ranks in the
youth academy.
