Brahim Díaz is expected to soon return to Milan as an agreement on a new loan with option to buy is almost here.
Brahim spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Milan and played a key part – especially at the end of the season – to help the Rossoneri qualify for the Champions League.
After showing good things in his first year at Milan, the Diavolo management got the table with Real Madrid and according to Sky Italia, Milannews.it and others they are very close to reaching an agreement with Los Blancos, which would allow them to keep Brahim in the squad of Stefano Pioli.
Real Madrid President Florentino Perez addressed the Díaz situation in an interview with El Transistor on Onda Cero last night:
“Brahim had the chance the show his great talent at Milan. If he cannot play here consistently then we would like him to do it at Milan. I can’t talk about other things because I don’t know what will happen yet. The same [playing consistently] elsewhere] is true for Ceballos, Kubo and Ødegaard.”
The agreement should be on the basis of a one-year loan with option to buy for Milan and buy-back option for Real Madrid. The figures, as reported by Antonio Vitiello, still need to be worked out.
