Three European giants in contention to sign €40 million-rated Real Madrid forward
A recent report from Fichajes has revealed that three major clubs—AC Milan, Juventus, and Liverpool—are competing for the signature of Real Madrid forward Brahim Diaz.
The Spanish player has had a turbulent time since returning to Madrid after a successful loan spell at AC Milan, where he was a standout performer.
While his time with Milan saw him become an integral part of the team, his return has not had the desired effect, with limited playing time and fewer opportunities.
Severe interest from Italy
AC Milan, where Brahim flourished for three seasons, are reportedly interested in bringing him back. His creativity and ability to perform in critical moments made him a key figure at San Siro.
The Milan board is considering a reunion, offering him a guaranteed starting role and a familiar environment where he previously enjoyed success. This could be an attractive option for Brahim, who is familiar with the club’s playing style and culture.
Juventus, now under coach Thiago Motta, are another club that see the Moroccan as a valuable asset. The Italian side is looking for a versatile attacking player who can operate both on the wings and in central positions, and Brahim fits this description.
His flexibility and technical skills make him an ideal addition to Juventus, who are aiming to strengthen their offensive play and add more creativity to their squad.
Then there is Liverpool
Lastly, Liverpool is also showing interest in the 25-year-old, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah’s contract renewal.
Their manager Arne Slot reportedly sees Brahim as an exciting option for the Reds, valuing his vision, dynamism, and ability to make things happen on the field. If Brahim moves to Liverpool, he could play a significant role in their attacking line-up.
Despite the growing interest from these clubs, Real Madrid have made it clear that Brahim is still an important part of their plans.
With several injuries in the squad, Madrid may need his depth and versatility as they go through a busy season. However, his future at the club remains uncertain, with these three top clubs eager to secure his services for the upcoming transfer windows.

Mourinho considering starting 23-year-old Real Madrid ace against Villarreal – report
After impressing during the international break, Eduardo Camavinga has a major opportunity to establish himself in Real Madrid’s midfield rotation.
Indeed, according to Defensa Central, Jose Mourinho is considering starting the Frenchman against Villarreal, with injuries and doubts over several players limiting his options.
Real Madrid cannot afford to drop points against Villarreal if they want to remain in the title race. However, Mourinho has issues to deal with in the squad, which could lead him to turn to Camavinga for a crucial role.
Camavinga could replace Tchouameni in midfield
The 23-year-old star could line up as the defensive midfielder in the double pivot, with Bernardo Silva or Arda Guler alongside him, and will be tasked with providing balance in midfield.
Real Madrid face Villarreal with several problems in central defence. Ibrahima Konate is expected to be a late call, leading Mourinho to consider moving Aurelien Tchouameni into defence alongside Antonio Rudiger.
Meanwhile, Federico Valverde could also struggle to be ready after the ankle injury he sustained in the derby before the international break.
The Uruguayan has continued to work individually away from the group and might return to group training tomorrow. Even then, his readiness to start remains in question.
That would leave a place open in midfield, with Camavinga in line to fill in.
Camavinga impressed during the international break
Camavinga has started only one match this season, the defeat against Real Betis.
Despite his limited opportunities, Mourinho is keen to bring the Frenchman back into the fold after he impressed for France during the international break.
Zinedine Zidane called the Real Madrid star up for his first France squad, and the midfielder performed well during the break.
That has given Mourinho and Real Madrid reason to be optimistic about using him against Villarreal, with the hope that he can move closer to the level he showed after first arriving at the club.
Therefore, the Villarreal match could represent an important test for Camavinga and a chance for the Frenchman to show that he can provide the balance Real Madrid need in midfield.
