AC Milan contact Real Madrid about underused forward

Real Madrid have struggled to get things moving this season, with Carlo Ancelotti trying a number of shapes and formations. What he has done much less of is try to vary the personnel, leaving Arda Guler, Endrick Felipe and even Brahim Diaz without much playing time.

According to GdS (via Sport), AC Milan have contacted Real Madrid to find out if they would be willing to let him leave on loan. That could be in the summer, but the Rossoneri would prefer it now. They don't mention their reaction, but it is noted that Brahim is happy with his role at the Santiago Bernabeu, despite getting less game time than elsewhere. He understands that opportunities are scarce given the players ahead of him.

Brahim was key to Real Madrid's success last year and helped maintain his form during an injury to Vinicius Junior. He has already been out for a month this season and has only made two starts this season. In his nine appearances and 254 minutes he has a goal and two assists, a sign that he is still useful to Carlo Ancelotti.
