Real Madrid are expected to extend Brahim Díaz’s contract until 2030, according to reports in Spain. The Moroccan international is believed to have agreed to the renewal, although the club has not officially confirmed anything yet.
Contract talks: agreement reported, announcement pending
Spanish radio outlet Cadena SER claims the deal is already in place, with Brahim ready to commit his long-term future to the club. If finalized, the extension would keep him at the Santiago Bernabéu for the rest of the decade.
Minutes under Xabi Alonso raising questions
Despite the reported contract progress, Brahim’s playing time has been a major talking point this season. The same report notes that his minutes are noticeably lower compared to last year at a similar stage.
So far in the 2025/26 campaign:
- La Liga: 12 appearances, 312 minutes
- UEFA Champions League: 6 appearances
That limited involvement has fueled discussion about his role in a crowded attacking rotation.
AFCON form: Brahim delivering for Morocco
While minutes at club level have been scarce, Brahim has looked sharp for Morocco at AFCON, producing goals and momentum for the Atlas Lions.
He has scored three goals in three matches, including:
- A first-half goal against Zambia
- A penalty in the 1–1 draw vs Mali
- A goal in the 2–0 win over Comoros
His performances have added creativity and control in midfield, making him one of Morocco’s standout players in the tournament.
What this means for Real Madrid
If the extension is confirmed, it would be a clear sign that Real Madrid still value Brahim highly for the long-term — even as he fights for more minutes right now. The next step is whether his AFCON form can translate into a bigger role once he’s back in the Madrid setup.
