Official: Brahim Diaz returns to Real Madrid, signs new contract until 2027
Real Madrid have officially confirmed that Brahim Diaz has returned to the club after spending three years on loan at AC Milan. The Merengues have also revealed that the 23-year-old playmaker has committed his future to the club until June 30, 2027.
Diaz signed for Real Madrid from Manchester City in January 2019, but found game-time hard to come by over the next eighteen months or so.
As a result, he was loaned out to AC Milan in the summer of 2020 for a season. Upon returning, he re-signed for the Rossoneri, this time on a two-year loan deal and helped them win the Serie A title in 2021/22 and reach the UEFA Champions League semi-final in 2022/23.
Having become a fundamental player at San Siro, Diaz was wanted on a permanent deal by Milan. But, Real Madrid have managed to secure his return to the club and have even extended his contract until 2027.
“Real Madrid CF announces that on Tuesday, June 13, at 12:00 at Real Madrid City, the presentation ceremony for Brahim Díaz will take place, who will return as a player for our club until June 30, 2027, after his loan for three seasons at AC Milan,” the official statement from the club reads.
Diaz technically becomes the third new arrival for Real Madrid heading into the summer window after Borussia Dortmund confirmed Jude Bellingham’s transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu earlier this week, which was followed by the Merengues’ announcement of the capture of Fran Garcia.

Bellingham on his special assist in Girona 0-3 Real Madrid: “Been watching Luka every day”
Real Madrid usurped the top spot in the La Liga standings from arch-rivals FC Barcelona as they defeated Girona 3-0 away at Estadi Montilivi.
It was a fine performance from Carlo Ancelotti’s men against Michel’s side, with the returning Jude Bellingham leading the way for his team.
After being benched against Las Palmas in midweek, the England international returned to the starting XI today and turned in yet another Man of the Match display for Real Madrid.
It all started with Joselu opening the scoring just 15 minutes into the game, with Bellingham assisting the goal with a special, outside-of-the-boot pass from the left side, bringing back memories of Luka Modric doing something similar a few years ago.
Talking about that special pass, Bellingham said: “I’ve been watching Luka every day for months. I just want to be creative. It took the pressure off us at the start.”
On the match and the result, the 20-year-old stated that it was a good day across the board for Real Madrid, as he said: “It was an important win. They were doing very well. We made a statement of intent to La Liga. Three goals, a clean sheet….”
It has been a truly remarkable start to life at Real Madrid for Bellingham and expressing how he feels to play for the Merengues, he exclaimed:
“I feel very good. I have freedom of movement and I’m enjoying football. Whenever I put on this shirt I always try to do my best.”
Apart from assisting Joselu’s opener, Bellingham also got his name on the scoresheet in the second period. Talking about his goal, the wonderkid said:
“It wasn’t a very good finish. I could have scored some more, but the important thing is the victory.”
The strike meant that Bellingham now has seven goals and two assists across all competitions for Real Madrid. Reflecting on his brilliant start, he said:
“It’s a good start, not bad. I would like to continue on this path and I won’t always score or assist, but I will always give my best.”
Bellingham’s celebration has been a huge hit, with kids in school, players from other clubs, and many others mimicking it. When asked how his special celebration originated, he replied:
“I don’t know where I first celebrated. I think it was with Birmingham. It’s an inspiration to see kids doing it in schools. It’s a wonderful thing.”
