AC Milan are beginning to think about their transfer strategy in view of next season and they have ideas about Brahim Diaz’s future already.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports how the Spaniard returned to Milan on a two-year loan with option to buy from Real Madrid during the summer, with €22m the figure for the option while Real inserted a buy-back at €27m.
Obviously a two-year loan means that Brahim will not move from Milanello until summer 2023 at the earliest, but the situation is very delicate because the Rossoneri club cannot afford to reach the end of that period with the risk that the Los Blancos will simply take him back and pay essentially a €5m development fee.
The management consider the 22-year-old playmaker to be someone to invest and bet on, and therefore the idea of Milan is to try a Rebic-style coup, i.e. to buy him outright by pushing the purchase forward before the end of the loan.
Not only that but the opportunity to talk will soon come around, because there is a gentleman’s agreement between AC Milan and Real there to talk about Brahim Diaz at the end of the season.
