Official: Brahim Diaz returns to Real Madrid

After Fran Garcia, Real Madrid made official the return of Brahim Diaz, who has been on loan to AC Milan for the last three years.

This Saturday, Real Madrid made their second recruit of the mercato official, following Fran Garcia and awaiting Jude Bellingham (whose transfer has already been announced by Borussia Dortmund). As expected, it's Brahim Diaz, who has returned from a three-year loan spell at AC Milan, where he gained playing time and experience.
