Arsenal Reportedly Readying £43m Bid for Real Madrid’s Brahim Díaz

A lack of minutes with a short contract increases Madrid’s incentive to sell.

Overview

Arsenal are preparing a formal offer of about £43m for Brahim Díaz, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes as relayed by multiple reports.
The coverage says Arsenal have taken the lead in the chase and are pushing hard to add a creative attacker to Mikel Arteta’s squad.
Reports in Spain suggest Real Madrid have received several Premier League offers and would consider a sale if a strong bid arrives.
Díaz has played 676 LaLiga minutes this season and has one year left on his deal, which adds pressure on both club and player ahead of summer.
The 26-year-old’s ability to play across the front line and his standout Africa Cup of Nations form fit Arsenal’s needs, though no club has confirmed an official bid or agreement.
