Brahim Díaz (Malaga; 23 years old) returns to Real Madrid. The attacker, who has been on loan at Milan for the last three seasons, has shone in Serie A and earned a return ticket to the white club, now that Benzema, Asensio and Mariano will not continue at the Bernabeu. The footballer, who has a contract until 2027, will be presented on Tuesday, June 13 at noon at the sports city of Madrid. A day before, it will be the turn of Fran García, left-back of great route that arrives from Rayo Vallecano.

With a low centre of gravity and dribbling ability, Brahim has always had an love affair with the goal. He did it in the lower categories of Málga, where he was trained, and so he continued in the school of Manchester City, a club that hired him in 2013 thanks to the relationship he had with the then coach, Manuel Pellegrini. Three years later, he would debut with the first team. And, precisely, three other courses later, Madrid signed him for 17 million to reinforce the front. He lasted a season, summarized in two goals after participating in 21 games, in addition to taking the collective laurels of the League and the Spanish Super Cup. Without a place in the white team, however, he was loaned to Milan, where he has uncorked his best version: 124 games with 18 goals, in addition to winning the Scudetto of the previous year and reaching the semifinals of the Champions League in this.

Now, Brahim, who has been international in all categories of the selection, returns to Madrid and joins the list of additions that adorns Bellingham, after a payment to Dortmund of 103 million.
