The loaned Madrid players: Brahim asks Zidane for a place

Brahim Díaz begins to become a top-level attacker. The man from Malaga has found his best version in Milan since he made his City debut. Although his first year in Madrid was stimulating, this season is when he is performing best. His coach, Stefano Pioli, is giving him confidence and he is responding. He has already played 31 games this season. Last weekend was key in the comeback of his team against the Fiorentina. He played 79 minutes and scored the 2-2. This course has five goals and three assists in 1,555 minutes of play.

His good role has led the Rossoneri to seek a definitive purchase. The sports director, Paolo Maldini, has already turned on the machinery to convince the footballer and present a formal offer for the next market. The problem with the Italian team is that in Madrid they are delighted with the evolution of Brahim and they count on him as a very important footballer for the future of the entity.

It is a very important bet for sports management, which wanted to pay a transfer in January 2019 (15 million plus five in variables) despite the fact that the contract ended six months later. City's insistence on renewing him and the interest of other teams forced Madrid to speed up the negotiation. Since then, Brahim has grown season by season and, although last year he did not have too many minutes under the orders of Zidane, both the Frenchman and the football management are very aware of the potential he has.

Next year, he could have a hole in the squad. The most likely march of Luke Vazquez opens a door for him. However, you will have a lot of competition. In addition to Hazard Y Asensio, fixed for Zizou, Rodrygo Y Vinicius They come stomping and growing at the same rate as Brahim.
