The name of the Moroccan star Ibrahim Diaz topped the list of interests of the Turkish club Fenerbahçe, which plans to sign him during the upcoming winter transfer window to strengthen its offensive power. Press reports revealed that the Turkish club considers the Real Madrid player one of its top priorities, with the end of October approaching as the date to start official talks to try to convince the player to move to Istanbul.
Fenerbahçe seeks to take advantage of Diaz’s limited playing minutes with Real Madrid this season to push him to experience a new professional challenge in the Turkish league. Interestingly, the Turkish club intends to enlist the help of the Turkish player Arda Güler, Diaz’s teammate at Real Madrid and a former Fenerbahçe player, to assist in persuasion efforts. Meanwhile, the Royal Club has not made its final decision regarding the fate of its player during the winter market, especially with reports suggesting its desire to extend the player’s contract, which ends in June 2027.
Fenerbahçe is looking for effective offensive solutions after coach İsmail Kartal was dissatisfied with the performance of both Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Oğuz Aydın, prompting him to demand the addition of a new offensive option. In this context, the name Ibrahim Diaz strongly emerges as one of the main candidates to meet this offensive need for the Turkish team.
The market value of 27-year-old Ibrahim Diaz is estimated at around 35 million euros according to specialized press reports. The Moroccan star has played more than 160 official matches wearing the Real Madrid jersey in his second spell with the club, scoring nearly 20 goals since his return from a successful loan spell with Italian club Milan in the summer of 2023.
