AC Milan, renowned for their impressive commencement to the Serie A campaign, positioning themselves as formidable contenders for the league title, have encountered a recent slump in their performance.
Their track record of only securing one victory in the past six matches across various competitions has led to them languishing at the bottom of their Champions League group. This deficit sees them trailing behind league leaders Inter Milan by a significant six-point margin.
In light of these formidable challenges, it has become increasingly apparent that AC Milan must make adjustments to reclaim their lost momentum. One viable avenue to address their recent struggles might lie in recruiting a player from Real Madrid.
Brahim Diaz, who garnered acclaim as a ‘new signing’ for Real Madrid in the summer, earned widespread recognition following his stellar performances during the 2022/23 season while on loan at AC Milan. Despite his commendable efforts, Real Madrid recalled him to the Spanish capital for the current season.
However, Brahim has witnessed limited playing time this season, featuring in just nine matches and amassing a mere 118 minutes of play, according to Transfermarkt statistics.
Consequently, speculation regarding his future has naturally arisen, with the prospect of a return to AC Milan gaining traction. Reports from Calciomercato indicate that if Brahim’s situation fails to improve, a loan move back to AC Milan in January could be in the offing—a possibility that AC Milan’s manager, Stefano Pioli, purportedly embraces.
Brahim’s exceptional performances for AC Milan last season sparked discussions of a potential permanent transfer, with interest also emanating from top Premier League clubs.
Despite Real Madrid’s recall of Brahim with the expectation of him making regular contributions or even securing a starting role, his current involvement at Santiago Bernabeu remains minimal. Consequently, a departure from the club could potentially prove beneficial for all parties involved.
