Yacine Adli, who was signed by AC Milan last year and was left at Bordeaux to have more playing time, is showing his talent and technique in the friendly games and training sessions as reports explain that he is gaining trust of the coaching staff and management.
The Franco-Algerian is showing that he can play really well as a playmaker too. Now, this raises the question regarding Spanish attacking midfielder Brahim Diaz who is currently on loan from Real Madrid.
The former Manchester City talent could be permanently signed by Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara, the transfer overall would cost 22 million euros. A figure that, until now, Brahim has not fully proven to be his worth especially last season: he started off well, but he then struggled a lot in terms of goals and assists after he came back from Covid-19. He never seemed to be able to recover his peak level and consistency since then.
According to what is reported by Calciomercato.com, the unconvincing performances of Brahim Diaz led the Milan directors to consider the idea of terminating his loan and sending him back to Real Madrid, but the idea soon faded. Now, the Spaniard who turns 23 on August 3rd, has a new chance but it will not be easy because of the competition he will face.
Yacine Adli played in Brahim Diaz' position and brought much class and style in the last friendly game against Wolfsberger in which he scored 1 goal and created another without forgetting the vision and quality of passes. The competition for Brahim Diaz does not end there, however. He won't only compete with Yacine Adli, but also with Belgian talent Charles De Ketelaere who continues to get closer to finally joining AC Milan, writes Calciomercato.com.
Brahim Diaz would start, then, in the event of arrival of Charles De Ketelaere, even further back in the hierarchy, considerably complicating the chances of being permanently signed by AC Milan in a year.
