AC Milan must sit down with Real Madrid to speak about the future of Brahim Diaz, whose loan deal expires at the end of next month.
Sky report that qualification for the next edition of the Champions League is vital to Milan not only from a sporting prestige point of view but also because of the money it brings in and the boost to the transfer budget that results.
The bid is to strengthen the team and there will be countless negotiations over an endless list of targets, but the Rossoneri already have one meeting penned in their agenda: one with Real Madrid over Brahim Diaz.
The Spaniard wants to stay and the Rossoneri do not want to part with him, while Los Blancos are unlikely to stand in his way. However, a reasonable amount will have to be agreed upon to make him a permanent Milan player after three years on loan.
He will likely start against Juventus on Sunday and he hopes to be decisive just like he was two years ago when he scored the opening goal en route to a 3-0 win that was a huge step towards a Champions League return. He hopes to do the same on Sunday, against the same opponents on the same stage.
