Real Madrid Star Brahim Diaz Nears Decision on Morocco National Team Switch

The national coach, Walid Regragui, and officials from the Royal Moroccan Football Federation met last week in Marrakech with Brahim Diaz and his father. The objective is to convince the Real Madrid midfielder to join the Atlas Lions.

The information is reported by the site Al-Arabi Al-Jadid, which states that during this secret meeting, Diaz expressed his desire to play for Morocco. The young player is currently avoiding addressing the issue during his interviews with the Spanish press, preferring to finalize the operation in the utmost discretion and away from the Spanish media.

The Real Madrid midfielder is expected to make his choice official before the next gathering of the Moroccan national team, scheduled between March 18 and 26 at the Mohammed VI Center in Rabat. The Moroccan Federation has been trying for years to convince Diaz to wear the Moroccan jersey, but the player has been hesitant to make a choice between Morocco and Spain.

During his European tour scheduled for next week, Walid Regragui should meet Diaz again in private to finish convincing the Real Madrid star. The Moroccan coach wants to strengthen the attack of the Atlas Lions after their early elimination in the round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire, and wants to be able to count on Diaz’s exceptional talent.
