AC Milan’s promising start to the season, positioning them as potential contenders for the Serie A title, has been followed by a downturn in form.
With just one win in their last six matches across various competitions, they now find themselves at the bottom of their Champions League group, trailing league leaders Inter Milan by six points.
In light of these challenges, necessary adjustments are crucial, and AC Milan may find a solution to their recent struggles in a player from Real Madrid.
Brahim Diaz, who was touted as a ‘new signing’ for Real Madrid in the summer, received significant acclaim after an outstanding 2022/23 season during his loan spell at AC Milan.
Despite his impressive performances, Real Madrid recalled him to the Spanish capital for the current season.
However, Brahim has seen limited playing time this season, making just nine appearances and accumulating 118 minutes of play, according to Transfermarkt statistics.
Speculation about his future has naturally emerged, leading to the possibility of a return to AC Milan.
Reports from Calciomercato suggest that if Brahim’s situation does not improve, a loan move back to AC Milan in January could be on the cards, an option that AC Milan’s manager, Stefano Pioli, would welcome.
Brahim’s exceptional performances for AC Milan last season sparked discussions of a potential permanent transfer, with interest from top Premier League clubs also in the mix.
Despite Real Madrid recalling Brahim with the expectation of regular contributions or a starting role, his current role at the Santiago Bernabeu is minor.
As a result, a move away from the club could potentially benefit all parties involved.
