AC Milan have confirmed that Brahim Diaz has rejoined the club on a two-year loan from Real Madrid.

Diaz will wear the number 10 shirt for Milan, the club added, inherited from Hakan Calhanoglu who joined city rivals Inter on a free transfer last month.
‘AC Milan is delighted to announce the signing of Brahim Abdelkader Díaz from Real Madrid CF on a temporary basis for two years. The contract ties the football player to the Rossoneri Club until 30 June 2023,’ the club said in a statement on their official website on Monday.
‘Brahim, after scoring 7 goals in 39 appearances with AC Milan last season, will continue to be a Rossoneri player, wearing the number 10 jersey.’

Diaz joined Real Madrid from Manchester City in January 2019 and made six La Liga appearances the following season as Zinedine Zidane’s side won the title.
He was called up to Spain’s senior squad in June after a number of players tested positive for COVID-19 and made his international debut in a friendly against Lithuania, scoring in a 4-0 win.
Milan, who finished second behind Inter last season, begin their domestic campaign at Sampdoria on August 22.
