Brahim Diaz has finally decided to join the Moroccan national team. The Real Madrid player has been torn between the North African nation of his roots and the Spanish national team but has opted for the Atlas Lions. The doubts that Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente had were crucial, and the Los Blancos’ 24-year-old forward has grown tired of waiting for La Roja. As we announced recently, the Malaga-born player is attracted to the Moroccan project, for which he will be a key player.##NAJAVA_MECA_7938667##Sources from the Spanish Football Federation explained to Mundo Deportivo that the intention from the Federation was to secure Brahim Díaz’s future They admitted that it was not as clear-cut a decision as that of Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, a structural player who is destined to be the star of the Spanish national team in the next decade. In the case of the Real Madrid player, he would face much more competition to make the squad, but they wanted to call him up given his great form and to secure his international career and prevent him from defecting to Morocco. However, the final decision in this case was De la Fuente’s.The national team coach had already worked with Brahim in the Spanish youth teams, both in the U-19 and U-21 teams, and he wasn’t sure if he could have a real impact with La Roja. The attacking midfielder from Real Madrid had previously been called up by Luis Enrique but hadn’t played, and now, in a good moment, he is ready to be an international again.Brahim Diaz at 24 years old: • Played for Real Madrid • Played for AC Milan• Played for Manchester City• La Liga winner • Premier League winner • Serie A winner • 6 trophies • Regular at Real Madrid • 192 career matches Not enough for Spain call ups 🤷♂️ pic.twitter.com/nIu3SoEcCi— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) March 11, 2024 Morocco had been insisting for many years and wants to make him a protagonist.
