Brahim Diaz Squeezed Out of Mourinho Plans

For fans following Real Madrid through 12BET Mobile, the new season has begun without the level of dominance many expected under new head coach Jose Mourinho. After the opening seven rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid have recorded five wins and two defeats, collecting 15 points and sitting only fourth in the standings. More concerning is the gap at the top, with Barcelona already six points ahead of Los Blancos.

One attacking player in particular has gradually slipped toward the fringes under Mourinho. That player is Brahim Diaz. Now 27 and firmly in the prime years of his career, Diaz combines natural talent with excellent close control and impressive positional flexibility. He has long been regarded as one of La Liga’s most versatile attacking players, capable of operating as a winger, supporting forward or creative attacking midfielder. Having a player with that range of skills would normally give Real Madrid valuable depth and provide several tactical options across the front line.

Yet that versatility has not translated into a prominent role under Mourinho. The numbers paint a clear picture. Across Real Madrid’s first seven league matches, Diaz has made three appearances but started only once. Such limited involvement suggests that he currently occupies a secondary place in Mourinho’s tactical plans rather than being viewed as an essential part of the starting lineup.

His uncertain position has naturally attracted attention from elsewhere in Europe. As supporters using 12BET Mobile follow the changing transfer landscape, Juventus and Fenerbahce have both emerged as clubs interested in the versatile Real Madrid attacker. With Diaz struggling for regular minutes, both sides see an opportunity to strengthen their attacking options with a technically gifted player who can fill several roles.

Juventus have been interested in Diaz for some time. Although they were unable to complete a move during the summer transfer window, the Italian club have not abandoned their pursuit. Juventus are currently reshaping their attacking unit, with inconsistent production from wide areas and a lack of reliable rotation options among their main concerns. Diaz appears well suited to those needs because his intelligent movement, ability to carry the ball forward and creative passing could add another dimension to their attack. His flexibility would also give Juventus more ways to change shape during matches, which is why he continues to be regarded as a longer-term recruitment target.

Fenerbahce, meanwhile, are approaching the situation with greater urgency. The Turkish club are reportedly focusing on the winter transfer window and would like to bring Diaz in as quickly as possible. Competing on several fronts this season has exposed a shortage of attacking depth, making an experienced player who can contribute immediately especially valuable. Diaz’s ability to attack from wide positions while also helping organize play through the middle could ease that pressure. Compared with Juventus and their patient long-term approach, Fenerbahce appear determined to strike while the iron is hot and complete a deal without unnecessary delay.

Despite interest from two major European clubs, Diaz has not shown a strong desire to leave Real Madrid. His preference could still change, however, if either Juventus or Fenerbahce presents an especially attractive contract and a clearer sporting role. Regular playing time, tactical importance and long-term career development may all become factors if his opportunities in Madrid remain limited.

For fans tracking Real Madrid through 12BET Mobile, Diaz’s future therefore remains genuinely open, with both staying and leaving still realistic possibilities. He may choose to fight for a larger role under Mourinho, but a compelling proposal from abroad could lead him to reconsider the next stage of his career. At this point, the door remains open in both directions.
