Brahim Diaz is currently in his third season with Milan on loan from Real Madrid as this is the second of a two-year loan deal that was signed back in the summer of 2021 after an initial one-year loan for 2020-21.
According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, United have been admiring his performances with Milan and they are exploring a deal for the 23-year-old, to whom they have promised a prominent role in the team if he makes the move to Old Trafford.
However, what remains to be seen is how things work out between Milan and Real Madrid, because the former have an option to buy him permanently and while the Spanish champions have a buy-back clause, they would have to convince the player they would actually use him.
El Nacional’s report suggests the Spain international could cost around €55million to sign from Real Madrid, with developments expected in the coming months as the clubs get closer to making a decision on what happens after his loan.
However, several reports have also claimed there is an anti-Man Utd clause in Brahim’s deal with Real. Manchester City insisted on it when selling Diaz to Los Blancos and it dictates that City would receive 40% of the fee if the Spaniard was sold to their city rivals, so that would be around €22m.
