The market axis between AC Milan and Real Madrid is already heating up ahead of the summer with two players being discussed, we have learned.
According to our colleagues at SempreMilan.it, Real Madrid want to bring Brahim Diaz back from his loan at Milan a year early, and that puts a spanner in the plans of the Rossoneri management who will find themselves with a void to fill in the role of attacking midfielder.
It is precisely for this reason that Milan have opened talks with Sassuolo to try and sign Hamed Junior Traorè, a player with characteristics similar to those of Brahim but who has better numbers.
Milan can use Real Madrid’s plan to their advantage though and that is why they have opened talks to sign Marco Asensio for the right winger. The Spaniard’s contract is expiring in 2023 and he is looking his next club.
The excellent relations between Paolo Maldini and Florentino Perez – as seen in the Theo Hernandez and Brahim Diaz talks – could make the difference. Once that obstacle has been overcome, what remains is to find an agreement with the player who earns €5m net per season currently, while Milan would be willing to offer player €4m plus bonuses to arrive at €5m.
