The Rossoneri club is trying to lock Rafa down as soon as possible to avoid temptations from the transfer market. For Brahim we are moving towards the natural continuation of the second year of the loan
A market axis cannot be defined because the two clubs do not work on multiple and simultaneous exchanges. Indeed, the Rossoneri fans sincerely hope that relations between Milan and Real Madrid will remain as superficial as possible since the first name involved is Leao. Certainly, however, the strategies of Casa Milan and the “casa blanca” are somehow destined to intertwine. And if it is not this summer, it will happen in 2023 with the definition – for better or for worse – of the Diaz issue.

Meanwhile, however, Rafa and Brahim are holding the bank. For very different reasons of course. The amazing season of the Portuguese has obviously tickled the appetites of the big names in Europe. Or rather, clubs that have no (or do not) problems shelling out millions in triple figures. For Leao first there was the PSG knockout, but it was still in the current season and the potential figure on the table was around 70 million. Then the interest of Real began to emerge and, more or less simultaneously, the presence of the maxi release clause of 150 million in Rafa’s contract was also revealed. In Spain they are quite certain that Real will seek a concrete thrust to snatch Leao from the Devil. Despite the presence of a very prominent element in that area of the pitch such as Vinicius Jr, who is also expected to be renewed until 2027. Milan obviously, net of the clause, intends to hold on also because Leao was considered a column of the team already before the consecration of this season. Imagine now. To resolve the issue, however, Rafa needs to sign the new contract, so that summer 2024 is no longer scary. And that the offer – formal, it should be emphasized – of Madrid worth 120 million is returned to the sender.

The situation is evolving for Diaz as well. The second part of the season played below his standards (actually the negative watershed for him was the October Covid) led to a review of the overall ratings. Let’s say that if in the first three months of the season Milan was fully convinced that they had finally found their number 10, and there was even talk of early redemption from the two-year loan with Real, then the matter changed. Brahim has somewhat disappeared from the scene, also for technical choice. Pioli came to prefer first Kessie and then Krunic and then his situation inevitably became complicated. And we went from one extreme to the other. The playmaker to be redeemed at all costs has even become the player to be let back to the sender a year in advance. But now that the season is over, the intentions of the two clubs begin to emerge more clearly. Pending a confrontation between Milan and Real with Brahim, the main topic filters the mutual will to simply keep faith with the loan agreed last summer. That is two years of stay in Milanello. So: decision postponed to summer 2023, based on how next season will go. At the same time, the expectations of the player also filter, who obviously hopes to be able to have a greater use than the year just ended. But this depends above all on him.
