AS: Real Madrid renewed Dias’ contract in advance, and the player hopes to occupy a place in the main lineup

November 22 News Recently, "AS" talked about Dias's future in Real Madrid. They said that the club has renewed Dias' contract in advance, and he also hopes to occupy a place in Alonso's main lineup.

The right-wing position has mainly been played by Mastantono (nine starts, 689 minutes played) or, more recently, Camavinga in important games. Dias has only started four times, but with Mastantono suffering a groin injury, he realized that this was an ideal time to compete for the main position.

International match days are always full of energy for Dias. In the Moroccan national team, he is an idol and leader. In the victory against Mozambique (1-0), he did not score but performed brilliantly, providing the assist for Onasi's goal. In the 4-0 victory over Uganda, his performance was slightly inferior, but he still received a warm welcome. Every time he returns to Morocco, he is much loved.

Diaz returned with greater confidence and worked to convince Alonso to give him more opportunities. Although he has the qualities valued by Alonso (energy, pressing ability, breakthrough ability and autonomy), he has only played 423 minutes so far, ranking 15th in the team, and he is eager for more playing time.

In terms of data, he participated in every goal in the games against Almaty Kairat, Oviedo and Villarreal, averaging one goal every 144 minutes. Last season, that number was every 163 minutes. He contributed 0.64 goals or assists per 90 minutes, second only to Mbappe (1.29), Gonzalo (0.84), Guler (0.74) and Vinicius (0.71). Although the statistics are not outstanding, he has made the most of his limited opportunities.

Real Madrid is full of confidence in Dias, so they renewed Dias' contract in advance. Although his contract was not due to expire until 2027, it was only a matter of time before the official announcement was made. Real Madrid believe in Diaz, and he believes in Real Madrid, and Alonso's arrival further strengthens this trust.
