CM: From Real Madrid talks to Pioli’s wish – what Brahim Diaz’s future depends on

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan must resolve the future of Brahim Diaz together with Real Madrid in the coming weeks given his loan deal expires at the end of the season.

As Calciomercato.com report, the importance of Brahim Diaz in this current side is demonstrated by the fact that Stefano Pioli continues to pick him over Charles De Ketelaere in the games that count because he considers him more ready and capable to deploy his ideas.

Pioli is pushing hard for the management to acquire Brahim Diaz on a permanent deal from Real Madrid, but it will not be without complications which start with the player’s divided will.

One side of his heart beats for Milan who took a chance on him and have helped him to grow but the other pushes for Real Madrid because it would mean consecrating himself at the most successful club to the world, which would have implications on his chances of getting into the Spanish national team too.

Carlo Ancelotti and the management of Los Blancos have always kept a close eye on Díaz and they have seen his growth, which is why the hypothesis of a return to the Spanish capital ahead of next season is concrete.

Negotiations have been ongoing between Real Madrid and Díaz’s representatives for a few weeks to extend his contract expiring in 2025, but Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara Massara will speak with Real Madrid to understand their intentions and if there is any chance of a discount on the €22m option to buy agreed.

Much will depend on the will of the player himself and on the project that will be presented to him by Real Madrid and also by Milan.
