da esport bet: Brahim Diaz has not really enjoyed his stay at Real Madrid.
After all, he’s barely ever been used and that’s not really likely to change in the future.
At the moment, it seems like he’s bound to become another victim of Los Blancos’ poor management.
On the chalkboard
The 20-year-old was a promising talent at Manchester City, his former club.
Back then when he was playing for the Citizens, he scored 11 goals and assisted ten for their U23 squad and then made 15 appearances for the senior team, netting twice in the process.

But unfortunately for him, his luck seemed to run out when he joined Real Madrid.
He made 11 appearances for the Whites across all competitions in 2018/19 and that was practically the last we saw of the youngster who has only had eight minutes of game time in 2019/20, coming on as a substitute in Real Madrid’s 1-0 defeat to Mallorca.
And now, he seems to be heading out the exit door.
Another one bites the dust
We have already discussed Real Madrid’s weird transfer choices and their poor management of some of the talented young players they have in the squad.
The case of Luka Jovic first comes to mind, as the Galacticos were on the hunt for new forwards despite having the young Serbian in the squad already.
AS recently came out with a story claiming that the club will be looking to ship Diaz out in the winter market so they can chase other targets and free up some of their budget.
And that decision, even though it may be good for the player himself since he might finally get a chance to play, is still rather weird and puts his whole initial transfer into question.

Why buy Diaz in the first place and snatch him away from City with the aim of landing yourself a prodigy if you’re going to freeze him out of the squad and then sell him a couple of seasons later?
AS don’t make it clear whether we’re talking about a permanent move or a loan deal of sorts but since they explicitly state that players need to be moved out so new ones can come in, it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume we’re not talking about a temporary solution.
That deal sounds like the Galacticos are shooting themselves in the foot.
After all, they would be losing a talented player who was never given a shot to reach his potential.
They actually don’t have to look farther than their other loan players like Martin Odegaard and Dani Ceballos, both of whom have blossomed after being given a proper shot and some crucial game time.
With that in mind, maybe a loan would be ideal and they should be striving towards reaching that deal.
If not, Diaz might just end up as another failed project and a victim of their poor management.
