Real Madrid have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Manchester City midfielder Brahim Diaz at the end of his contract.
Diaz has been at the Etihad Stadium since 2013 but despite being promoted from the youth setup at the club, the 19-year-old has struggled for first-team opportunities under Pep Guardiola.
City see the playmaker as one for the future, but the youngster is said to be frustrated with his lack of game time and it appears that the Spaniard is ready to return to his homeland.
According to El Chiringuito, Madrid have managed to tempt Diaz into a switch to the Bernabeu, with the player being able to sign a pre-contract agreement as early as January.
Diaz is likely to find himself in a similar predicament regarding playing time at the European champions, but it appears that the next stage of his career will be spent in La Liga.
Just three starts and 11 substitute outings have been made since his debut in September 2016.
