Brahim puts his future ‘in jeopardy’

Brahim Díaz is experiencing a few difficult months in Milan. Last season he convinced the rossoneri that they should try to keep him, and finally they did it through a transfer for two years in which, in addition, they secured a purchase option for 22 million euros. Real Madrid, which sees great potential in him, kept in the same agreement a buyback clause worth 27 million euros.

The beginning of this season was exciting, with 4 goals and 2 assists in the first month of the campaign. However, its performance was diluted with the passage of time. His last goal was precisely in September, in that brilliant start to the campaign, and last attendance three months laterwhen he assisted against Genoa and Salernitana in two consecutive games.

From there, his numbers have plateaued along with his performance. 4 goals and 4 assists in 34 games for a footballer who was called to lead a team that is currently the leader of Serie A and could win its first Scudetto in 11 years. In a season like this at the collective level, a major role for the Spaniard could have launched his careerNothing could be further from the truth.

They could cancel the assignment

Despite having already played more minutes than last season, his influence on the team has dropped considerably. According to data from the Artificial intelligence (IA) of Olocipthe value of its shares has fallen at all levels. If last year he contributed a value to the team of 0.31 for every 90 minutes, this year it has dropped to 0.09, practically 71% less. Especially bleeding are his offensive data, where he has gone from contributing a value of 0.15 to a value of -0.03, becoming the player with the worst offensive value of the team.

Thus, Milan and Pioli assess what to do with him. At the end of the season, the Rossoneri will sit down to talk with Real Madrid and, according to the Gazzetta dello Sportnothing is discarded: from the activation of the purchase option until the cancellation of the second year of assignment. Everything will depend on what Brahim can give of himself in the final stretch of the season. If it ends up being decisive to put a league trophy back in the Rossoneri showcases, everything will change. But right now his continuity hangs in the balance.
