After the official offer, Ibrahim Diaz awaits Mourinho's decision
As European clubs accelerate their moves during the summer transfer window, Moroccan international Ibrahim Diaz has become one of the most prominent names on the negotiation table, after strongly entering the orbit of Turkish club Galatasaray. While the Turkish club seeks to finalize the deal, all eyes are on the stance of Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, who is expected to decide the player's future after evaluating him during the pre-season preparations.
Turkish newspaper 'Fanatik' reported that Galatasaray's management has made an official offer to sign Ibrahim Diaz, as part of its plan to strengthen the squad with players capable of competing locally and continentally in the upcoming season.
The newspaper also stated that the Turkish club continues its intense activity in the transfer market, also working to finalize the deal for French midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu, who plays for English club Burnley. After reaching an agreement with the English club, Galatasaray is close to completing the procedures to sign the player.
Meanwhile, Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu revealed that Galatasaray has made direct contact with Ibrahim Diaz to sound out his stance on a move to the Turkish league, in an attempt to convince him to take on a new experience away from Real Madrid.
Despite the Turkish interest, reports indicate that the Moroccan international currently prefers to stay with Real Madrid and not leave the club during this transfer window, as he aims to get a greater opportunity to prove his abilities with the team.
Interest in Ibrahim Diaz is not limited to Galatasaray; several European clubs are closely monitoring his situation, most notably Italian sides Roma and Milan, along with English club Aston Villa, which is tracking developments in the player's file ready to move if the opportunity arises.
At the same time, Jose Mourinho wants to evaluate Ibrahim Diaz during the pre-season camp before making a final decision on his future, whether to keep him in the squad or agree to his departure this summer.
Ibrahim Diaz has one year left on his contract with Real Madrid, while his current market value is around 35 million euros, making his future one of the most exciting stories of the summer transfer window.
