Brahim Diaz: Spain wants to dribble Morocco and it can succeed

Between Morocco and Spain, which sporting nationality will Brahim Diaz choose? The suspense remains. The Royal Moroccan Football Federation is trying to convince the Real Madrid star to join the Atlas Lions. For its part, the Spanish federation also wants to integrate the young player into the Roja squad. Born in Malaga to a Moroccan father and a Spanish mother, Brahim Diaz has the possibility of playing for the national team of either of the two countries.

According to the latest news, the Spanish federation is about to call up the Real Madrid midfielder. The information is announced by a Spanish journalist who affirmed, after the Real Madrid-Leipzig match in the Champions League, that the Roja coach, Luis de la Fuente, plans to call up Diaz and has even notified his intention to the Madrid club.

The club led by Florentino Perez has confirmed having received this pre-call-up of Diaz by the Spanish federation. This maneuver by Luis de la Fuente would only aim to prevent Brahim Diaz from joining the Atlas Lions, as he has been under pressure for several weeks by the Spanish press who reproach him for letting Diaz slip away. The player of Moroccan origin met on February 26 with the president of the FRMF, Fouzi Lekjaa, and the national coach, Walid Regragui.

In any case, the final decision rests with Brahim Diaz. The choice of his sporting nationality will be known on Friday, March 15, when Luis de la Fuente is expected to make public his list of players called up for the international break, or on March 16 when Walid Regragui is expected to publish his list for the friendly matches against Angola and Mauritania, scheduled for March 22 and 26 at the Grand Stade d’Agadir. The suspense therefore remains intact.
