Brahim's response to PSG's offer revealed: 'I like it…'

Real Madrid and Brahim have reportedly reached a contract renewal agreement to secure his future. It was one of the priorities they had set, but they knew it wouldn't be difficult. That's how it turned out, closing the door to potential clubs interested in acquiring his services.

This summer, several clubs have inquired about him in an attempt to sign him. Also in the past, since, as Rodra has revealed, PSG showed willingness to bring him in. They tested the waters, seeing that he wasn't a starting player for Ancelotti.

Real Madrid didn't seem willing to sell him since it kept betting on him for the long term. As we have learned at Defensa Central, the player's response was similar. "I like that they're interested in me, but I only think about succeeding at Real Madrid" was his answer.

This way, PSG had to rule out that move and look for new options in the market. Something similar happened this summer, with all those who had tried to tempt him. Benfica, Premier League teams, and Serie A teams showed interest but haven't managed to sign him.

Brahim will renew with Real Madrid

At Real Madrid, they have seen how Brahim is an example of hard work and perseverance in the team. When he returned to the Merengue squad, Ancelotti didn't want him, didn't see him as Asensio's replacement. In fact, he didn't count on him and barely gave him minutes even when the matches were already decided.

That changed little by little, winning Carletto over first at Valdebebas and then in the matches. To such an extent that he earned a spot in the Italian coach's rotation plans. He even became the main substitute for the forwards whenever one of them wasn't available.

With Xabi, he has experienced something similar, despite the few minutes he had during the Club World Cup. But in the league debut against Osasuna, the man from Tolosa didn't hesitate and put him in the starting line-up. With Bellingham out, it seems he is the one called to take his place.
