Real Madrid and AC Milan plan to meet next month to discuss on-loan winger – report
As reported by ABC SPORT (h/t Madrid Xtra), a meeting between the representatives of Real Madrid and AC Milan is scheduled for next month and the topic of discussion is going to be a certain Brahim Diaz.
Diaz, 23, is in his third loan spell with Milan and over the years, the winger has established himself as a key member of the squad. This season, the Spaniard has made 25 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals and two assists.
A lot has been said about Diaz’s future in the media. For once, Milan’s technical director Paolo Maldini plans to keep him at San Siro and is willing to start a healthy negotiation with Madrid for that.
Interestingly enough, although Stefano Pioli has shown immense faith in the youngster, Milan have intention to pay more than €13-15 million for the attacking midfielder. As for Madrid, the quoted price in case of a permanent acquisition is believed to be around €22 million.
On the other hand, it is believed that Milan have more or less made peace with the fact that Diaz’s departure is certain in the summer. Although there has been a debate regarding whether or not there is a buy option in his loan deal, Milan expect Madrid to go soft as part of the gentleman’s agreement given that the player will complete three years in Italian Serie A.
As it turns out, however, the player is tipped to move back to Real Madrid and in turn, the Serie A side will turn towards a certain Houssem Aouar of Olympique Lyonnais.
Milan’s interest in acquiring Aouar solely depends on what happens with Diaz. If Diaz is to continue, the team will have no place to accommodate Aouar, but in case the Spaniard does, in fact, move back to Madrid, Milan will launch an offer for the Lyon captain.

Mbappe happy with positive start
After receiving the award at the training facilities earlier today, Mbappe spoke to RMTV, talking positively about the team’s start to the campaign and outlined his ambitions for the months ahead.
“We’ve started the season positively. I hope we can continue like this on Saturday. I think there can be a lot of success this season,” he said.
The Real Madrid forward is determined to play his part as the team pursue trophies on multiple fronts.
“I’m really looking forward to helping the team and showing that we can do great things this year. I’m always happy to play here. I know it’s a privilege,” he noted.
Welcoming the new arrivals
Mbappe also discussed the new faces who have joined the squad, stressing the importance of ensuring everyone settles quickly into the team.
After all, Real Madrid have made as many as six new additions in Ibrahima Konate, Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, Carlos Espi, Denzel Dumfries, and Yan Diomande.
“It’s always good to see new faces. They come wanting to help the badge and Real Madrid. We’ve tried to make sure everyone adapts in the best possible way so that we can all move in the same direction,” he stated.
With the squad continuing to improve, Mbappe believes unity will be crucial as Real Madrid aim for a successful season.
The France captain’s four goals in August, coupled with his strike against Inter Milan earlier this week, have provided an early indication of his importance to the side as Real Madrid look to bring trophies back at the Bernabeu.
