The Real Madrid transfer market once again places Brahim Diaz, a 27-year-old Moroccan forward, among the names to watch. AC Milan is interested in reacquiring the player, and Besiktas has also been in contact regarding his situation, while the player faces a season with increased competition for playing time.

The interest from both clubs comes after a summer where Brahim returned with prominence to Real Madrid. The attacker provided 4 assists in 5 matches for Morocco during the World Cup and subsequently scored the goal that won the Teresa Herrera Trophy against Deportivo La Coruña.

AC Milan aims to bring back Brahim

AC Milan knows the player well. Brahim spent three seasons on loan at San Siro between 2020 and 2023, playing 124 matches, scoring 18 goals, and providing 15 assists before permanently returning to Real Madrid. 

During that time, he was part of the 2021/22 Serie A victory and also featured in the Milan squad that reached the Champions League semifinals in 2023. Now, the Italian team sees his return as an option to strengthen their attacking positions.

AC Milan's interest comes in a different context now. Brahim has gained more experience with the Real Madrid first team, has become more significant in the Moroccan national team, and can play as an attacking midfielder or on either flank.

Besiktas also interested in Brahim

Besiktas is the other club involved in Brahim's future this transfer window. There have been moves from Turkey to understand the player's situation, providing a second European option in the final weeks of the transfer window.

However, the player is battling to earn a place under José Mourinho. The arrival of players like Bernardo Silva and Yan Diomande has increased offensive competition, while Arda Güler, Endrick, and other attacking pieces also aim for playing time in the 2026/27 season. 

Brahim has responded well during preseason. His goal against Deportivo secured a 1-0 victory at Riazor, showing his ability to impact coming off the bench or play in various attacking positions. 

Real Madrid must handle a squad with increased competition

The contract situation gives Real Madrid flexibility. The existing agreement to extend Brahim's contract until 2030 strengthens the club's position against any Italian or Turkish interest.

The club has significantly revamped its squad this summer, spending around 225 million euros on new signings. This expenditure has been accompanied by numerous departures, leading the sports management to handle potential moves before the market closes.

Competition will play a significant role in Brahim's future. Mourinho values him for his versatility in various positions, but the array of alternatives requires distributing playing time in an attack that has received new reinforcements.

The next move will depend on how far AC Milan and Besiktas are willing to go. Real Madrid holds the contractual control, and Brahim faces the final weeks of the transfer window with two European clubs monitoring his situation.
