Brahim Diaz has decided to leave Spain and switch his international allegiance to Morocco.
The 23-year-old AC Milan attacker represented La Roja from the Under-17s to the U21s.
Diaz received a call-up to the senior squad in June 2021 for a friendly with Lithuania where he made his senior debut by scoring Spain’s second goal in the 4-0 win.
He has yet to feature for them since and as well qualifies for Morocco through his parents, who were born there.
Brahim Diaz resisted the urge to switch his allegiance to them before the World Cup last year, where the African nation reached the semi-finals.
However, there are claims that he has now opted to continue his international career with Morocco, which he can do due to not playing competitively for Spain.
And he added that “he will be with the squad when they next meet in March”.
Diaz first played professional football for Man City where he made five Premier League appearances for the club between 2016 and 2019.
Diaz was brought in to Real Madrid, But after one season, 15 league appearances, and one goal, Diaz was shipped out on loan to Serie A, where he finally cemented himself in the AC Milan squad.
He has played 71 times in the Italian league and helped the club to the title last season.
