TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Real Madrid are considering moving on Arsenal target Brahim Diaz, although only one of Diaz, Ader Guler and Endrick will be allowed to depart the Spanish capital this month.
Real Madrid have received interest in several of their players who are currently on the fringes of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad and are deciding which one they will allow to leave.
TBR Football revealed back in November that Arsenal were keen on Diaz and now Los Blancos could be open to letting the £15.5 million player find a new club.
Mikel Arteta will be familiar with Diaz having coached him during his time as assistant boss at Manchester City and he has shown an interest in being reunited with the Moroccan international.
Real Madrid consider letting Arsenal target Brahim Diaz to leave
Real Madrid have received interest from several Premier League clubs in Endrick, Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler, sources have told TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
TBR Football has been told that the European champions are considering the possibility of allowing one of them to leave this month.
Ideally, Carlo Ancelotti is keen to keep hold of Diaz and Guler as both players are part of his plans and have featured for Madrid over recent weeks.
As mentioned, Diaz is subject to interest from Arsenal and also his former club AC Milan, whilst Arteta’s side are also monitoring Guler who is being tracked by Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa.
The Madrid boss is also hoping that Endrick will remain in the Spanish capital, however, some within the Spanish giants feel he may benefit from a short loan spell.
Would Brahim Diaz be a good fit for Mikel Arteta?
One major reason for signing Diaz would be his versatility as the forward can play all across the forward line and has done for Madrid this season.
The 25-year-old has featured mostly as a right winger so he could replace Bukayo Saka, but he can also feature as a second striker.
