A cunning scheme from Istanbul! Fenerbahce preparing an exchange trick with Real Madrid for Brahim Diaz
Turkish club Fenerbahce are holding active negotiations with Real Madrid over the transfer of attacking midfielder Brahim Diaz, hoping to complete the deal without paying a direct upfront fee.
Details: According to Turkish insider Selim Koc, the Istanbul club have devised an unusual deal structure. Under the proposed agreement, the Yellow Canaries are ready to give Los Blancos the right to receive 20 percent of any future sale of Turkish midfielder Arda Guler, who moved to the Santiago Bernabeu from Fenerbahce.
Real Madrid currently value the 27-year-old Moroccan at approximately €35 million, but officials in Madrid have deemed the Turkish proposal economically attractive and agreed to continue the dialogue. The parties are expected to hold a series of additional meetings to work through the legal aspects of the potential transfer in detail.
It is worth noting that Brahim Diaz is one of the key creative players for the Morocco national team, while at Real Madrid he has already won a La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League.
Reminder: Official! Fenerbahce appoint new head coach
