Four assists fuel Brahim Díaz’s pledge to stay at Real Madrid

Four assists have highlighted Brahim Díaz’s influence at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he has emerged as a leader for Morocco and, according to SPORT, has no intention of leaving Real Madrid. Backed by José Mourinho, the winger is expected to sign a contract extension for the 2026‑27 season.

His two major goals are to help Morocco reach the World Cup semi‑final and to continue with Real Madrid for the 2026‑27 season. He sees the tournament as a platform to cement his place in the club’s future plans.

Díaz has put behind the disappointment of the Africa Cup of Nations final, where he was heavily criticised after missing a decisive penalty, and has once again become the creative leader of the national side. The Africa Nations experience has sharpened his resolve.

With injured striker Ismail Saibiri unavailable, Morocco are relying on his creativity as they prepare to face a France side featuring Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Michael Olise. His ability to operate between the lines is seen as vital.

His four assists underline his playmaking impact, providing the spark Morocco needs in the tournament. The statistics reinforce his reputation as a creative force.

New manager Jose Mourinho wants to keep him after what has been the best season of his Real Madrid career. Mourinho’s backing adds weight to the contract talks.

Despite attracting interest from the Premier League and Serie A, with Juventus leading the chase, Brahim has no desire to leave Real Madrid. He believes the World Cup has proved his quality to compete at the highest level.

He says the tournament demonstrated his ability to compete with the very best and aims to become a regular starter for Real Madrid in the coming season.
