On loan Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz has been the subject of plenty of speculation in recent months. The Milan playmaker is approaching the end of a two-year loan, with the Rossoneri keen to hold onto him, but Los Blancos perhaps interested in bringing him back. Should he continue to showcase his talent like he did against Napoli on Sunday night, it will remove any doubts in the Spanish capital.
Brahim reportedly has a release clause that Milan can pay, but Real Madrid have a buyback clause of their own, meaning his future remains in Los Blancos’ hands.
Milan shocked Serie A on Sunday night by going away to league leaders Napoli and thumping them 4-0. Brahim was at the heart of their win, inventing a brilliant assist for Rafael Leao for their first goal.

He was also on target for their second, coolly taking the ball down in the box and dropping a defender, before finishing himself.
🇪🇸 Brahim Díaz is one of the players I'm crazy to see back in LaLiga
🌟 He has matured a lot in Milan, knows how to adapt better to the different rhythms of the game, and still has the same talent as always

Brahim has become more a regular this season under Stefano Pioli, but there are still doubts about where and how often he would fit in at the Santiago Bernabeu. Peformances like that will demand a place in the side no matter what the system.
