Also Brahim Diaz, like Kylian Mbappé, will not participate in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The former AC Milan player chose months ago to represent Morocco at national level despite being born in Spain; one of his grandmothers, his father’s mother, was Moroccan and it is thanks to this blood tie that he was able to obtain nationalization and play for the North African national team. The indifference shown by Luis de la Fuente towards him did the rest.
In this context, the Real Madrid playmaker had the possibility of playing in the Olympic tournament as a non-quota player, but the Spanish club vetoed him. As reported As, Real have a total of 18 players in their squad who are involved in Euro 2024 and who will be at the starting line for the Copa America. For this reason, in the pre-season Ancelotti is counting on Brahim Diaz, who will be a fundamental element in the European Super Cup which will be played in Warsaw on 14 August against Atalanta.
The attacking midfielder understood the needs of the merengues and he won’t force his hand, even if he wanted to be present at the Games. However, Morocco has not yet given up and will make one last attempt to convince Real, as has already happened with Betis and Villarreal, who will let Abde and Akomach go respectively.
