The edition of Tuttosport available in newsstands today highlights how Brahim Diaz has become a key player on several occasions this season, especially in important matches.
The performances against Napoli, both in the league and in the Champions League match at San Siro, are still fresh in the minds of AC Milan fans. Going back in time, the Spaniard also decided the first leg against Tottenham with his header and put on an outstanding display against Juventus in the league, followed shortly after by a brace against Monza. Head coach Stefano Pioli deserves credit for having the intuition to move him to the right flank, where the number 10 is more free and often has more space in front of him. Additionally, the competition announced with De Ketelaere at the beginning of the year seems to have done him a lot of good, as he has been performing well from the start.
But just as AC Milan supporters were starting to enjoy the quality and consistency of Brahim Diaz, and will be able to do so at least until the end of the season, talks about an uncertain future have arisen. At the end of this season, the Spanish player should return to his home club, Real Madrid. Given his recent performances, and more, AC Milan wants to keep him, but the feeling is that much will depend on Los Blancos. The Madrid club could decide to recall him, either to rotate him or to set a transfer fee and hear all the possible offers (not just from Milan).
The Rossoneri, relying on the player's willingness, are trying to anticipate the situation. Intermediary Edoardo Crnjar, who represents Brahim Diaz, has already been in Milan in recent weeks, but the feeling is that the situation can only be unlocked with a meeting between the two clubs.
