ZURICH / MADRID — A political bomb has just exploded in the world of football. An exclusive leaked document reveals that Florentino Perez is planning to halt the Brahim Diaz Morocco journey before it gains momentum. The club cites “Medical Risks” as the primary reason to prevent him from joining the Atlas Lions in March.

📄 The Leak: “Operation Stop Diaz”

According to sources close to the club’s administration, Real Madrid has drafted a formal letter to FIFA. Their main objective is to block the playmaker’s participation in the upcoming friendly against Ecuador. This move is seen by many analysts as a direct attempt to prioritize the club’s Champions League ambitions over international commitments.

🌍 The “Anti-Africa” Conspiracy?

This is not the first time European clubs have tried to sabotage African teams. We saw similar tactics used against Hakim Ziyech (Chelsea) and Noussair Mazraoui (Bayern Munich) in the past. The argument is always the same: “The player is injured.” However, miraculously, these players often recover just in time for their club’s next league match.

Fans believe that Real Madrid is particularly worried about the Brahim Diaz Morocco commitment because the player puts 100% effort into every match for his country, increasing the risk of fatigue compared to other players.

🧠 Regragui’s Nightmare: Plan B

If the block is successful, Walid Regragui faces a tactical disaster. Diaz has become the centerpiece of Morocco’s attack, linking the midfield with the forwards. Without him, who steps up?

• Option 1: Return to a more defensive 4-1-4-1 formation.
• Option 2: Rely heavily on Ilias Akhomach or Amine Adli to fill the creative void.
• Option 3: Give Hakim Ziyech a free role in the center (No. 10 position).

None of these options offer the same dynamism that the Real Madrid star brings to the pitch. The loss would be significant against a strong South American side like Ecuador.

📉 Analysis: Is this Legal?

Fans are asking: Can Real Madrid legally stop the selection? FIFA regulations are clear: clubs must release players for official windows. However, clubs often exploit the “Medical Exemption” loophole. By claiming the player is “not fit,” they can legally block the Brahim Diaz Morocco call-up without technically breaking the rules.

🇲🇦 FRMF Reaction

Walid Regragui is reportedly furious. Sources inside the Federation confirm that Fouzi Lekjaa is ready to escalate the matter to the highest courts of sports arbitration if necessary. They view this as a matter of national sovereignty and respect.
