During the summer transfer window, Galatasaray focused on acquiring a number 10, only adding Lesley Ugochukwu to their squad. Although Bruno Fernandes and Can Uzun top the list, Manchester United is preparing to extend Fernandes’ contract rather than sell him. On the other hand, Frankfurt is not willing to lower Can’s transfer fee. The yellow-red team is also considering other options, keeping an eye on the situation of Diaz. There is still uncertainty regarding the future of the Moroccan star at Real Madrid, and they are waiting for the decision of his new coach Jose Mourinho. Real Madrid is making significant efforts to acquire Yan Diomande from Leipzig, while current player Diaz, who is 26 years old, sees limited playing time. This experienced player, whose cost is lower compared to Fernandes and Can, is attracting Galatasaray’s interest. Diaz can play in all positions in the attack (number 10, right wing, left wing) and fits Okan Buruk’s system perfectly. The player has one year left on his contract with Real Madrid, and at 1.70 meters tall, he will become a free agent if not sold this season.
CAREER STARTED AT M.CITY
Diaz began his career at Manchester City and transferred to Real Madrid in 2019 for a fee of 17 million Euros. While representing the youth categories of the Spanish national team, he chose to play for Morocco at the senior level. He reached the quarter-finals with Morocco in the 2026 World Cup, finishing the tournament with 4 assists.
