June 10, (THEWILL) – Real Madrid has officially announced that Brahim Diaz, the young Spanish midfielder, has signed a new contract that will keep him at the club for the next four years.
Diaz initially joined Los Blancos from Manchester City in January 2019 for a fee of £15.5 million. However, he struggled to make an impact and was subsequently loaned out to AC Milan in the summer of 2020. In his time at Milan, Diaz flourished, establishing himself as a vital player for the Serie A side and helping them secure the league title in the 2021/2022 season. Now, he has returned to Spain and will once again be a part of :’s first team.
The 23-year-old has signed a new contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2027. He is set to be presented to the media on Tuesday, 13. His initial spell with Real Madrid saw him make 21 appearances, scoring two goals and providing three assists. However, he spent most of his time on the bench or out of the squad. His loan move to Milan proved to be a turning point in his career, allowing him to showcase his talents and contribute significantly to the team.
In the 2022/2023 season, Diaz recorded six goals and seven assists for Milan, primarily playing in an attacking midfield position but occasionally featuring on the left wing. With the departure of key players such as Karim Benzema, Eden Hazard, Marco Asensio, and Mariano Diaz, Diaz’s return to Real Madrid will play a crucial role in filling the void left by their absence.
His development and success in Milan have raised expectations for his performance in the upcoming season for Los Blancos.
