Under Florentino Pérez, Real Madrid is known for its great decisions in the transfer market. In this context, one of the most recent rumors that is gaining traction is a possible swap deal between Brahim Díaz and a Milan player.
Brahim Díaz: a Difficult Season
Brahim Díaz, who returned to Real Madrid in the 2023/2024 season, has had an irregular participation in the team. Although his performance was outstanding in the previous campaign, with 12 goals and 9 assists in 44 games, this year his opportunities have been reduced.
With the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, the order of the front line has changed, intensifying competition. What's more, young Turkish talent Arda Güler has taken on a greater role, which has further affected Brahim's options in Carlo Ancelotti's system.
So far this season, Brahim has played nine times. His statistics, however, have been modest: one goal and two assists. Added to this is an injury that kept him out of action for more than a month, which has reduced his continuity and playing rhythm.
Milan's Interest
Despite his inconsistent performance, Brahim Díaz remains a sought-after player, especially by Milan, where he made a big impression during his previous loan spell. During his time in Italy, he scored 18 goals in 124 games, being a key part of the Rossoneri offense.
Milan, which doesn't have a clear replacement for the likes of Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze, could see Brahim as an ideal reinforcement. His ability to play in different attacking positions makes him an attractive transfer for the Italians, who need to cover several options in their offense.
The Exchange with Florentino Pérez
Given Brahim's situation at Real Madrid, there are rumors that Florentino Pérez could be considering a swap deal with Milan. Brahim's return to Italy, where he already has fond memories, could be part of a negotiation that benefits both parties.
Brahim's possible departure in January or next summer could attract interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, opening up new options for his future.
Although it may not be immediate, the exchange would benefit both clubs. Madrid would get a good transfer and Milan would get a versatile player.
