AC Milan’s soaring start to the season, once positioning them as prime contenders for the Serie A title, has now been eclipsed by a troubling downturn in performance. With just one win in their last six matches across various competitions, their Champions League campaign sees them languishing at the bottom of their group, trailing league leaders Inter Milan by a significant six-point margin.
In the face of these challenges, imperative adjustments are necessary, and AC Milan may find a solution to their recent struggles in the form of a player from Real Madrid. Brahim Diaz, lauded as a ‘new signing’ for Real Madrid in the summer, earned considerable acclaim following a stellar 2022/23 season during his loan spell at AC Milan. Despite his impressive displays, Real Madrid opted to recall him to the Spanish capital for the current season.
However, Brahim has seen minimal playing time this season, with just nine appearances and a mere 118 minutes of play, according to Transfermarkt statistics. Speculation about his future has naturally emerged, fueling the prospect of a return to AC Milan. Reports from Calciomercato suggest that if Brahim’s situation fails to improve, a loan move back to AC Milan in January could be on the cards—a prospect welcomed by AC Milan’s manager, Stefano Pioli.
Brahim’s exceptional performances for AC Milan last season even sparked discussions of a permanent transfer, with interest from top Premier League clubs. Despite Real Madrid recalling Brahim with hopes of regular contributions or a starting role, his current role at Santiago Bernabeu remains minor. Consequently, a departure from the club could potentially benefit all parties involved.
