Real Madrid Set to Send Brahim Diaz Out on Loan Against Youngster's Wishes

Real Madrid will attempt to send Brahim Diaz out on loan once the winter transfer window opens, though the youngster is eager to remain at the Bernabeu.

Los Blancos purchased him from Manchester City in January for a fee of €17m, with the winger making 11 appearances in the closing months of 2018/19. However, Diaz is yet to play for the club this term, tumbling down the pecking order at Real after the signings of fellow forwards Eden Hazard, Rodrygo and Luka Jovic.

Nevertheless, coach Zinedine Zidane is said to be a huge admirer of the Spain Under-21 international and believes a loan spell would be beneficial for his long-term development.
