Man City and Real Madrid could go head to head for young talent

Real Madrid News

Manchester City are not prepared to let go of Brahim Diaz, as it is reported that they will do all they can to prevent the Spain international from moving away from the club. 

Diaz meanwhile is in the final year of his contract and refuses to sign a new contract largely due to lack of playing time for the Manchester City senior squad.

According to James Robson of the UK Evening Standard, several top European clubs are monitoring the contract situation of the 19-year-old, with Los Blancos topping them all.

The youngster might find playing time a little bit difficult in Manchester City, considering the high numbers of superstars and rising stars in the club set up.

The Spanish youngster made his senior debut for Manchester City lady season, coming off the bench to play a total of 50 minutes for the English champions. While he hasn't played a minute of football for Manchester City senior team, he however featured well during their pre-season games.

My Opinion

There's is no doubt about the quality of this youngster. However, with crops of youngsters with similar or superior qualities in Manchester City youth set up, he might find it difficult to break into the first team.

Real Madrid as well boast of youths of great qualities, no doubt. Diaz joining up will be more or less the same thing with Manchester City. Breaking into Real Madrid first team is one of the most difficult thing for any youngster.

The difference however will be the philosophy of the managers. Lopetegui is one man who believes in youngsters and the talents he has at hand.

Who knows, he might have more first team game time with Real Madrid than with Manchester City.
