Real Madrid are planning to build a team of young players and have already taken the first step by bringing Vinícius Júnior to the club.

They have identified several players as targets and this includes Manchester City’s Brahim Diaz, whose contract at the Etihad will run down after the end of the season.

We’ve carried several reports talking about Los Blancos’ interest in the Spaniard, while Paris Saint-Germain are also tried to make an approach for midfielder.

However, the midfielder has set his sights on joining the Champions League winners, even though his manager Pep Guardiola urged him to extend his stay with his current employer.

There’s an update about the 19-year-old in today’s edition of AS and it’s once again relayed that Diaz is close to becoming a Real Madrid player after the La Liga giants convinced him not to renew his contract with Manchester City. 

It’s claimed the ideal situation for Real would be to wait for the teenager until next summer so that they can sign Diaz on a free transfer, but the report mentions the operation could be advanced in January.
