Seven-time UEFA Champions League winners AC Milan are lining up a major summer move for Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz.
The 26-year-old just came off the back of a brilliant AFCON 2025 campaign with Morocco, scoring five goals and claiming the tournament’s golden boot.
Brahim Diaz already has some experience in the Serie A, winning the league once in his three years at the San Siro. Milan are now preparing an offer in the region of €50m to bring the playmaker back to Italy.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Milan have identified Diaz as a key target as they look to reinforce their attacking midfield options ahead of next season. The Rossoneri believe his profile aligns perfectly with their sporting project and are confident he could once again flourish in Italy.
Despite his undeniable quality, Brahim’s situation at Real Madrid remains delicate. Competition for places in attacking and creative positions is fierce, and making regular starts difficult even for players who consistently deliver when given opportunities is hard.
Endrick had to jet out on loan to join Lyon, while Arda Guler and Rodrygo Goes are still not pleased about their limited playing time so far this season.
Internally, Diaz’s professionalism and attitude are said to be highly valued by the coaching staff, who appreciate his ability to change games in short bursts. Still, Real Madrid are aware that their squad is currently overcrowded, forcing difficult decisions as they balance sporting objectives with financial and structural planning.
The club do not want to make hasty decisions especially since a head coach is bound to come in the summer, and might want some of the players in the squad to stay or vice versa and that is where AC Milan enter the picture.
The Italian giants have never fully lost sight of Brahim since his departure and remain convinced that his skill set would be a perfect fit for their system.
Milan believes the midfielder’s age, versatility, and technical profile align with their current rebuild, and they are prepared to back that belief financially.
