Ancelotti believes Milan target Brahim is growing in importance for Real: “Extraordinary condition” | OneFootball

Brahim Diaz has been linked with a move back to AC Milan this month, but Carlo Ancelotti has effectively shut down the rumours today.

The Moroccan attacker spent three years at Milan, and he was a favourite among the fans, and since his move back to Real Madrid, there have been questions about a potential return at some point.

It has not been a one-way stream, though. Instead, there have been countless suggestions about the Rossoneri’s interest in the midfielder, with suggestions that their interest in the talent never faded, even after he returned to Spain.

These rumours have been re-lit recently, with reports stating that the club have been considering a move for the talent, or perhaps even taking his Real teammate on loan. However, the factors of a move for Brahim have made it look unlikely.

Today, the likelihood of a deal has fallen further, as Ancelotti admitted that the 25-year-old will play an important role within his squad this season, and Milan News have relayed his words.

“Brahim is back from injury and is very well. He scored goals in the national team, he’s back in extraordinary condition. He will be important for us, he plays on the outside, he helps the midfielders. He will be as important as he was last year and I think he will be even more important.”
