In an exclusive interview granted to Milannews.it, Augustin Martin, journalist of the Spanish newspaper AS has spoken about AC Milan's attacking midfielder Brahim Diaz. Here are his statements:
On whether Milan and Real already talked about the future of Diaz:
"Brahim is a young player who at Real Madrid would not have had the necessary minutes to continue growing. Zidane trusts him, but in the Spanish team Brahim would not have been able to play many games. The almost certain departure of Lucas Vázquez opens up a hole in next season's squad. But we'll also have to see what happens at Real in the summer. It wouldn't surprise me if Brahim stays another season at Milan, but in Madrid for now they don't want to talk about a permanent transfer, unless you get an interesting offer worth at least 20 million euros".
On his form:
"Brahim suffered a blow in the match against Slovenia with an opposing player. He has a foot injury. It is not a bump or a sprain, but he has severe swelling on the sole of his foot and big toe which prevents him from walking normally. It is to be evaluated".
On Brahim's experience at Milan:
"For now, what comes to Spain is that the player is very happy. He had minutes he wouldn't have had at Real Madrid, he scored goals, he made assists. He sees the experience of playing for one of the greatest Italian teams like a spectacular opportunity. And then he is playing alongside great players like Ibrahimovic, Theo Hernández, Çalhanoglu, Tonali. This is very important for him".
