DefensaCentral: Milan propose Real Madrid swap deal involving Theo – the details | OneFootball

AC Milan are tempted to try and use Real Madrid’s interest in Theo Hernandez as a way to bring Brahim Diaz back to the club after his two seasons spent on loan.

As reported in Spain by Defensa Central, the Rossoneri are very keen on Brahim and may be willing to let Theo Hernandez leave the club if it is a favourable situation.

There has been plenty of interest in Hernandez from big clubs this summer, mainly Bayern Munich. The assumption was that Alphonso Davies would join Real Madrid and then the Bavarians would move for Hernandez as his replacement.

Davies could end up staying at Bayern Munich, so Real Madrid could look to bring Hernandez back to the Spanish capital.

This would present an opportunity to Milan as they could ask Real Madrid to pay a smaller transfer fee but involve Brahim in the deal, meaning Milan get a cash injection and a new attacking midfielder who has already impressed at Milan before.

The problem is that Real Madrid are very happy with the role that Brahim played last season and want to keep him as a rotational option and an impact substitute for the upcoming season. Therefore, the deal seems unlikely at this stage.
