The winger patiently awaited his opportunity at Real Madrid and seized it this season after an excellent loan at AC Milan. This season, Jude Bellingham has served as Carlo Ancelotti's main offensive midfield player. Diaz, who filled in as the Englishman's backup, performed admirably for Los Blancos and is now a reliable reserve player, if not a starter. Real Madrid is happy with the winger's growth this season and believes he is a long-term player, according to sources from Cadena SER.
As a thank you, they are prepared to give him a one-season contract extension with a €1 million pay increase. He signed a contract with Real Madrid last summer following his return from Milan, and it is now in effect until the summer of 2027. As a result, the new contract the club wants to give him would enable him to continue receiving the higher salary in the Spanish capital through June 2028.
