After playing just 21 matches in 2 seasons at Madrid, Diaz joined AC Milan on loan. The 25 year old spent 3 seasons on loan in Italy and impressed very much which caused Madrid to bring him back.
Diaz then had a very good last season where he played 44 matches. This was the best season in Diaz’s career as he scored 12 goals and picked 8 assists. He also became Champion of Europe for the first time in his career.
After such an impressive season, Diaz was expected to be used more often by Carlo Ancelotti. Instead, he has not been able to play regularly due to the heavy competition.

Arsenal and Liverpool keen to sign Brahim Diaz
As per Todo Fichajes, both Arsenal and Liverpool are keen to sign the 25 year old. Diaz is a very highly rated attacker and can play in any attacking position. His versatility makes him a key asset for any team he plays in.
Gunners can find a very good backup for Saka and Odegaard in form of Diaz. In addition, the Moroccan can even compete with Gabriel Martinelli for the starting position. If required, he can also cover for the striker.
