Brahim Diaz says ‘heartfelt thanks’ for ‘unforgettable’ three years: “Forza Milan!” – video

Brahim Diaz has officially confirmed his AC Milan exit and he thanked both the club and its supporters for making it a memorable three years.

Yesyerday, Real Madrid confirmed that the Spaniard has returned to the club after three seasons on loan at Milan. The Rossoneri initially wanted to keep the No.10 but not for the €20-25m requested by the Bernabeu side, who needed a replacement for Marco Asensio.

Brahim Diaz chose to say farewell to the Milan fans through a post on his Instagram account, which we have translated below.

“Dear Milan, today I have to say goodbye and thank you for everything we’ve lived together. From the first moment I wore this shirt, I knew I was in a special place.

“My teammates. You guys have been like family to me because we have shared laughter, tears and successes. You taught me the true meaning of effort and teamwork. Heartfelt thanks also to the mister, the staff, the doctors and the people of the club.

“And to you fans what can I say!? You guys are the best. With your support and passion, you pushed us in every match. Your choirs and energy made every moment on the field unforgettable. I am truly grateful for all the love and encouragement you have shown me during my time here. I know that in good and difficult times you will continue to cheer and support this team.

“This goodbye doesn’t mean I’ll forget you. I will always carry in my heart the memories of the moments we shared together, like the important goals, the exciting victories and the crazy celebrations. But also the hard moments that made us stronger as a team.

“I greet you with nostalgia, but also with emotion for what’s to come. Forza Milan!”
