Diaz is ready for the big changes?
Brahim Díaz is fully entering crucial months for his career. And it is that, the final stretch of this season will begin to give clarity to his future. The loan from Malaga with Milan expires on June 30, 2023, at which time he will return to Real Madrid. There is no purchase option on the part of the Rossoneri, contrary to some information that appears in Italy, and this puts the ball in the white court. Madrid positively value the performance shown so far at San Siro and will not take their eyes off the final stretch of the loan. Of course, the situation will be definitively evaluated later and the horizon remains uncertain at the moment .
At Milan, Brahim is proving especially decisive in Serie A, where he has accumulated four goals and one assist in the first 15 games. The work of the Spanish attacker has been essential to hold up against the tremendous Neapolitan start. In fact, according to Olocip , he has been, with an accumulated value of 4.18, the third most important footballer of the rossoneri, after Rafael Leão and Fikayo Tomori. In addition, with the data from the company specialized in applying AI to football, he is the best finisher of the team and appears second in passes prior to assists, shots, overall offensive value… Without forgetting his Maradonian goal against Juventus last October 8 that went around the world .
Importance that must also be extrapolated to the maximum continental competition, since there it has not achieved the same stability. A great setting to knock on the door of Madrid 2023-24 will be, precisely, the Champions League round of 16 duel against Tottenham (February 14, the first leg at San Siro; March 8, the return leg in London). In Milan, this confrontation will be lived with great enthusiasm and hope, since last year they broke the eight-year streak without the Champions League and this year they have gone one step further, breaking the glass ceiling of the group stage. Brahim has in Charles De Ketelaere, the club’s bet in summer (32 million euros), great competition.But the Spaniard counts on his performance as the key to continuity, since he is proving to be much more decisive than the Belgian talent (no goals and one assist in 797 minutes, for four goals and one assist from the Spaniard in 814′).
