Real Madrid not interested in selling Brahim Diaz despite AC Milan's interest - Reports
According to MARCA (via TheHardTackle), Los Blancos are not interested in selling Brahim Diaz despite Milan's interest.
Brahim has been outstanding for Morocco, scoring five goals in his last two games. But he has struggled for minutes at the Bernabeu this season.
In the ongoing 2024-25 campaign, Brahim has registered only nine appearances for Madrid, representing 254 minutes. His lack of sufficient minutes can be attributed to the intense competition in Madrid's midfield and attack in general.
AC Milan had earlier shown interest in re-signing him, as he had previously featured for them on loan. However, Madrid's hierarchy has said they are unwilling to sell the player in the upcoming transfer window.
Brahim has registered three goal contributions for Real Madrid this season, and he's contracted at the club till June 2027.
