As major clubs await smart opportunities to bolster their ranks before the summer transfer window closes, a surprising name has begun to make the rounds in European football — specifically within the corridors of one of Italy’s most prestigious clubs.
The potential deal could bring a distinguished player back to the Italian league after an experience that didn’t unfold as expected in the Spanish capital.

What’s interesting is that the move for this player wasn’t solely the result of technical analysis, but rather came at the direct impetus of a major star who recently left Real Madrid — and it appears this personal recommendation is what prompted the Italian club to act quickly.
After officially joining AC Milan this summer, Croatian Luka Modrić quickly made technical suggestions to the management of his new club.
According to press reports close to the club, Modrić was the one who informed the sporting staff about the situation of Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Díaz, indicating that the player was uncomfortable with new coach Xabi Alonso and might be open to a return to Italy if he received a serious offer.
Modrić drew on his in-depth knowledge of the Madrid squad’s dynamics and highlighted that Díaz isn’t getting enough minutes, despite his outstanding attacking potential.
His previous experience with Milan was successful by all standards, making the idea of his return both logical and exciting.
Moroccan-Spanish star Brahim Díaz, who previously shone with Milan for three seasons, is currently seriously considering his future.
Although his contract with Real Madrid runs until the summer of 2027, the player’s desire for a greater role makes him open to the idea of leaving — especially if Xabi Alonso continues to overlook him in official matches.
Conversely, Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is said to have requested the signing of Díaz, knowing his qualities well and considering him an excellent option to restore the team to title contention after a difficult season in Europe and domestically.
