Brahim Diaz spent three seasons at AC Milan before returning to parent club AC Milan, and he has really kicked on since going back to the Spanish capital.
Carlo Ancelotti even thanked Milan for their role in the development of Brahim, who moved to Real Madrid from Manchester City in a deal worth €17m in January 2019 and subsequently he spent three years on loan at Milan (an initial one-year loan then a two-year deal).
Calciomercato.com have published a report on the playmaker which starts with some news from Diario AS in Spain, who claim that he is about to change brand from Nike to Adidas and it will likely net him a few million.
The Spaniard has seven goals and three assists for Real Madrid this season so far and quite a few times he has come off the bench. The aspect that is worth underlining, however, is the decisive goals he has a knack for scoring.
Having bagged a few of them for Milan (a couple against Juventus, the winner in the Champions League tie against Spurs among others), he has continued the trend with Los Blancos.
Brahim scored the goal that won the Super Cup semi-final against Atletico Madrid and last weekend he netted again in the Madrid derby, a very big goal that had put Real momentarily four points ahead of second-placed Girona before the 93rd minute equaliser.
Who knows if at this moment the Rossoneri are rethinking their choice not to buy him permanently for €22m. However, it is clear that if it had been triggered, the Madrid club still had the possibility of a buy-back for €27m.
Milan made other assessments and it was clear at the end of the season that Brahim Diaz was not part of the planning for 2024-25. That money spent that money on other players, like Samuel Chukwueze.
The Rossoneri expect to see more from the former Villarreal player who has only shown his qualities in glimpses, but in the meantime Brahim is demonstrating his full value in Madrid.
