An unnamed Saudi Arabian club has reportedly made an €80m (£67m) offer for Real Madrid attacker Brahim Diaz.
The 25-year-old has been a regular for Los Blancos during the 2024-25 campaign, making 36 appearances in all competitions, scoring six goals and registering seven assists, including two goals and one assist in eight Champions League matches.
Brahim has the trust of Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti, and he was on the scoresheet against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night, as Real Madrid recorded a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 clash.
However, the Morocco international is not first choice when Ancelotti has a full squad, and according to Fichajes, Real Madrid have received a significant offer from an unnamed club from Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Pro League outfit are said to have placed €80m (£67m) on the table, with Los Blancos now facing a major decision considering the size of the bid.

Real Madrid 'receive major bid from Saudi Arabia for Brahim'
Brahim could become one of the best-paid players in world football by making the move, but it would still be a surprise if he decided to leave European football behind at this stage of his career.
The attacker came through the youth system at Malaga before moving to Manchester City in 2015, but he arrived at Real Madrid in 2019 and has made 102 appearances for the capital giants, scoring 20 goals and registering 19 assists in the process.
Brahim has been vital for Real Madrid this season amid the team's injury and suspension problems, and he could help lead the team to three more trophies in the latter stages of the campaign.
However, Los Blancos want to make some important signings this summer, and securing €80m (£67m) for a squad player would be regarded as excellent business by the Spanish and European champions.

Which other players could leave Real Madrid this summer?
Eduardo Camavinga is another player being linked with a move away from Real Madrid this summer, and the capital giants are believed to be considering using him as part of a swap deal with Paris Saint-Germain's Joao Neves.
Aurelien Tchouameni would also allegedly be for sale if the right offer arrived, while the same could also be said for both Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia, with a new left-back expected to join the club this summer.
Arda Guler's future is also the subject of speculation due to his struggles for minutes, while Luka Modric, Lucas Vazquez and Jesus Vallejo only have contracts with Ancelotti's side until the end of June.
