Brahim, one step away from Milan

Brahim is very close to leaving on loan to Milan. As AS has learned, the agreement is in the absence of the last fringes and, if nothing goes wrong, it will be closed in the next few days. The details of the operation must still be closed, although Real Madrid was only considering a transfer and despite the fact that the Italians wanted to include a purchase option, are willing to accept the demands of the white club to get a footballer that many teams yearned for.

The logical thing is that the agreement is official this week or at the beginning of the next, because the important thing was to convince the player. And that part, as AS learned from sources close to Malaga, is completely closed. Brahim has decided to play for Milan next season And that was the fundamental part for the operation to come to fruition. Now we have to close the last details between clubs and also with the player, but the operation is almost done.

With this decision Brahim takes a brave option, because he also had several offers from Spain (Betis, Real Sociedad and Getafe were the most interested). However, he is seduced by the challenge of returning Milan to the Champions League after so long absent from the top continental competition Also Premier clubs (especially Leicester) were interested in the Madridista, although for several weeks the only options that Brahim managed were those of a Spanish club or Milan.

After rejecting an exit last year, the lack of movements in Madrid has finished convincing Brahim. At the club they believe that he will be a fundamental piece in the future and the player keeps his goal of succeeding at the Bernabéu intact. However, there have been no exits in his area (Lucas Vázquez, Bale …) and that makes him look out for the minutes he has not had in Madrid. His goal is to shine in a setting as demanding as San Siro to return the course that comes with gallons.

In addition, there is another element that has weighed heavily in his decision: the challenges with the National Team. Despite the fact that he is called to be one of the leaders of the new Under-21, he has disappeared from the calls due to lack of minutes. Luis de la Fuente trusts him and as soon as he is the protagonist again, he will go with La Rojita. In summer there are two championships that make him especially excited: the Olympic Games and the U21 Euro Cup. He knows that he has a guaranteed place in both if he shines in Milan and he is also excited by the fact that Luis Enrique is starting to have footballers of his generation. He feels ready for any challenge and wants to show it in Milan.
