TMW: Milan interested in Lyon midfielder while waiting to negotiate with Real Madrid

AC Milan are looking at other options for the playmaker role in the event that they are unable to sign Brahim Diaz permanently, a report claims.

According to Niccolò Ceccarini’s latest for TMW, the Milan management are continuing to probe the market in search of opportunities to strengthen the squad ahead of the summer transfer window.

As has been mentioned several times, one of the priorities is to keep Brahim Diaz by negotiating a lower price than the €22m agreed with Real Madrid at the time his loan spell was renewed for two years back in 2021.

The Rossoneri are also following Houssem Aouar’s situation as the midfielder is out of contract in the summer and will not renew with Lyon. Milan remain at the window but there is no shortage of competition to land the 24-year-old, who can play either as a playmaker or as a box-to-box player.
