Club career

Manchester City

Brahim began his career at his hometown club Málaga, before moving to Manchester City in 2015 as a 16-year-old for an initial £200,000 fee.[3][4] On 21 September 2016, Díaz made his first-team debut for City, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute to replace Kelechi Iheanacho in an EFL Cup tie against Swansea City.[5] Five days later, he signed his first professional contract with City, for three years.[6]

On 21 November 2017, Brahim made his Champions League debut against Feyenoord, coming on in injury time for Raheem Sterling.[7] On 19 December 2017, Brahim made his first club start, playing for 88 minutes against Leicester City in the League Cup.[8] He made his Premier League debut on 20 January 2018, in a 3–1 victory over Newcastle United.[9] and on 13 May, he received a winner's medal after appearing sporadically in four more league games over the season.[10]

On 5 August 2018, Brahim played the final 15 minutes in place of Phil Foden a 2–0 win over Chelsea in the 2018 FA Community Shield.[11] Later that season, Brahim would score his first career goal for City, netting both times in a 2–0 win over Fulham on 1 November.[12]

Real Madrid

Following intense transfer speculation, coupled with his contract with Manchester City due to expire in June 2019, Brahim joined Real Madrid on 6 January, for a transfer fee of £15.5 million (€17 million).[13] His contract, which runs until 2025, also includes potential add-ons, which could see the value of the transfer to rise to £22 million (€24 million).[14] The transfer also includes clauses which stipulates a 15 per cent sell-on fee to be received by City, which would rise to 40 per cent should Brahim depart Madrid and transfer to "another Manchester club".[15]

He made his debut on 9 January 2019, coming on as a substitute in a 3–0 victory over Leganés in the Copa del Rey.[16] His league debut came four days later, when he again came in as a substitute in a 2–1 win over Real Betis.[17] He scored his first goal on 12 May 2019, in a 1–3 defeat at Real Sociedad.[18]

He made six appearances during the league season, as Real Madrid won the 2019–20 La Liga.[19]

AC Milan (loan)

On 4 September 2020, Real Madrid announced that Brahim would be loaned out to AC Milan for the duration of the 2020–21 season.[20][21] On 27 September, he scored his first goal in a 2–0 away win over Crotone.[22] On 9 May 2021, he scored a goal in a 3–0 away win over Juventus.[23] After the 2020–21 season, he was loaned for another two years to Milan with a buyout option.[24][25] On 15 September 2021, he scored against Liverpool in a 3–2 defeat in the UEFA Champions League.[26]

International career

Brahim, born in Spain to Spanish parents from Melilla, was eligible to play for Morocco due to the origin of his father.[27] Brahim is a youth international for Spain, and made his first appearances at age 16, where he received praise for his performances for Spain's U17s in the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[3]

Due to the isolation of some national team players following the positive COVID-19 test of Sergio Busquets, Spain's under-21 squad were called up for the international friendly against Lithuania on 8 June 2021.[28] Brahim made his senior debut in the match and scored the second goal in a 4–0 victory against Lithuania.[29]

Personal life

On 15 October 2021, it was announced that Diaz had contracted COVID-19.[30] By October 26 he had recovered.[31]
