Brahim Diaz Earns Maiden Call-Up to Spanish National Team
Real Madrid's rising star, Brahim Diaz, is poised to make his debut appearance for the senior Spanish national team, according to reports circulating among Spanish media outlets.
Brahim Diaz, who is eligible to play for both Spain and Morocco, has caught the eye of Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente, earning himself a spot in the squad for the forthcoming friendly clashes against Colombia and Brazil in March, as revealed by the Spanish sports news site Relevo.
This decision by de la Fuente is interpreted as a proactive move by the Spanish federation to secure Diaz's allegiance before Morocco potentially approaches the talented forward. Born to Moroccan parents in Malaga, Diaz's dual eligibility has sparked interest from both nations.
Having joined Real Madrid in January 2019 from Manchester City for a notable sum of €17 million, Diaz has demonstrated his prowess on the field despite limited opportunities, notching up 2 goals in just 5 appearances for Los Blancos this season.
The upcoming fixtures against Colombia on March 22nd and Brazil on March 26th will offer Diaz the chance to represent his country of birth at the highest level, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning career. His inclusion in the national team roster is sure to be a moment of pride for the young footballer.
