Real's new transfer was a Barcelona fan.

The Spanish player came from Manchester City and was introduced to the media and fans. An event where he said he had dreamed of playing in the Santiago Bernabau with the white fanella, writes Periscopi.

But did he tell the truth?

Spanish television show “El Chiringuito” posted a video of Diaz's interview while he was still in Malaga youth teams at the age of 12. When asked about his favorite team, he replied: “Barca”. Next, he was questioned about his idol in football. His response was clear: “Messsi”.

The story of this 19-year-old from Malaga, who has been a star since the age of six, is a curiosity.

By 2011, Albert Puig, former responsible for the Barcelona Youth Academy, was ready to make an agreement with Brahim's family.

Malaga's then-owned owner, Al-Thai, placed an answer that would not sell the player, despite Barcelona's making official bids in the following years. /Periscopi
