Brahim Diaz

In an interview with Africafoot, former Moroccan international Mustapha El Haddaoui delivered a powerful message to Brahim Diaz. The Moroccan midfielder, currently playing for Real Madrid, is still struggling for game time.

According to Mustapha El Haddaoui: "Brahim Diaz thought that Xabi Alonso’s arrival would cement his place in the first team, especially after his recent impressive performances." However, the reality has been tough for Diaz at the Club World Cup with Los Blancos.

This has led the former Moroccan international to send a direct message to Brahim Diaz. "It’s time for Diaz to have an honest conversation with the management. Before extending his contract, he must demand guarantees about his playing time. Staying stuck on the bench damages his confidence, lowers his market value, and affects his performances with the Atlas Lions. It could stall his progress at the highest level. Ibrahim has the talent to establish himself at another top European club, where he can aim for titles and play in the Champions League. His future is in his own hands… but also in those of his agent, who must fight for his interests." Mustapha El Haddaoui told Africafoot.

Let’s hope the message gets through.
