Brahim Díaz (21 years old) claims his place at Real Madrid. The man from Malaga was always convinced that he had a place in Zidane's squad and that is why he decided not to leave on loan in his first year and a half in white. Last summer, after the few minutes he enjoyed, he finally accepted. Although he once again demonstrated his ambition when choosing a destination: Milan. He had a multitude of offers both in Spain and in England, the two championships that he already knew, but decided to embark on an adventure in a new country and a great European.
The numbers, when the season approaches its equator, prove him right: Milan leads Serie A and the man from Malaga has produced great performances. When comparing his statistics with those of Rodrygo and Vinicius, the two players who due to age and demarcation have blocked his place in Madrid, the Spanish comes out the winner.
Brahim has so far four goals in 840 minutes (one every 210 ’), while Vinicius has three goals in 987’ (one every 329 ’) and Rodrygo one in 680’. In other words, the people from Malaga surpass them in quantity and frequency. The Brazilians, yes, attend more than him: six Rodrygo goals and three Vinicius, for only one assist from Brahim.
In fact, there is only one Madrid footballer who has scored more goals than Brahim this season: Benzema (12). Casemiro is tied (4) and the rest of the players of the white first team are below the Malaga in the scoring section, just one of Madrid's pending subjects since Cristiano left.
His good performance in Italy has caused Milan to contact Real Madrid to keep it as their property. This circumstance is not news, because the Italians already tried in summer, when Madrid refused to include a purchase option in the loan. Now, the answer they have found is the same, because at the Bernabéu they are convinced that Brahim will be an important footballer in the future.
The malagueño, for his part, thinks the same. He is very comfortable in Milan, although his dream is to succeed at the Bernabéu. He is convinced that he has a place and chose this assignment to show Zidane that he has the level to fight for a position in the current white squad. It was something he thought when he was at Madrid, although he did not have the opportunity to show it on the pitch due to the lack of opportunities. Now claim that site from Milan …
