Juventus makes Brahim Diaz summer transfer priority amid World Cup

Juventus Turin has made Brahim Diaz its summer transfer priority, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Real Madrid forward, currently competing with Morocco at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, is the main target of Bianconeri manager Luciano Spalletti.

According to the Italian sports daily, Spalletti is a keen admirer of the Moroccan international and has placed his signature at the top of his priority list. Direct contacts between Juventus and the player’s entourage are planned during the tournament.

Brahim Diaz arrives in a strong negotiating position. Named best player and top scorer of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, the 25-year-old attacking midfielder has confirmed his form with Morocco since the Atlas Lions’ opening match: Morocco held Brazil to a draw (1-1) in the group stage, a performance in which Diaz made an impact.

The player developed at Manchester City, who played for AC Milan before establishing himself at Real Madrid, now finds himself at the heart of a major transfer story while competing in one of the most-watched competitions on the planet. Juventus, looking to strengthen its attacking department, sees in him the ideal profile to revive its ambitions in Serie A and on the European stage.
