Real Madrid considered bringing Brahim Diaz back to base early from his two-season Milan loan, it’s reported, but the Rossoneri trust he can develop even more this year.

The trequartista turns 23 next month and first came to San Siro on loan in September 2020, then extended it for another two years at a cost of €3m.

The Italians have an option to buy for €22m, with Real Madrid retaining a counter-option at €27m.

It certainly wasn’t his best campaign, even if it ended with the Serie A title victory, because he contributed four goals and four assists in 40 competitive games.

Brahim Diaz was never quite the same after recovering from a bout of COVID, which is why Milan coach Stefano Pioli is confident the 2022-23 season will be a revelation for the player.

It comes after Diario AS reports Real Madrid wanted to bring him back to base this summer, but the two clubs agreed to continue the loan deal in order to help him develop with regular playing time.

Of course, Brahim Diaz might not get that if Milan succeed in purchasing Charles De Ketelaere from Club Brugge for over €30m, as they play the same role behind the strikers.

6 thought on “Real Madrid considered recalling Brahim Diaz from Milan”
  1. Diario AS is a terrible source. Why would Real want him anyway? He can’t get a single minute of playing time there.

    We’re short on attacking options and he doesn’t cost much, so it wouldn’t hurt to keep him around, but if we do sign another AM and RW, then I wouldn’t mind sending him back. Adli is better anyway. Might be best to develop our own.

  2. we will have to wait and see, i do think ancelotti will like to have him considering isco contract expired

  3. That guy is hopeless, decision making is too slow, holding up the ball for too long which is a huge drawback in this lightning fast modern football. Even worse, he almost never look up while dribbling, always facing the ground, how come a trequartista create opportunities with his eyes sticking to ants?

  4. Real madrid should bring him back because Asensio future is up in the air whiles federico valverde is not natural right winger

  5. It is good fottballer with a good ambition to play in madrid,so if madrid will bring him back,they achieve many things from him.
