AC Milan eager to extend loan stay of Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz?

AC Milan reportedly want to keep Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz at San Siro until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

With the former Manchester City youngster having failed to make an impact at the Bernabeu, Real were happy for the Spaniard to spend a year at Milan.

The 21-year-old has been provided regular game time at the Italian giants, contributing four goals and one assist from 13 appearances in all competitions.

According to Calciomercato, the Serie A leaders are keen to hold discussions regarding an extension to the current agreement in place with Real.

Milan plan to put a case forward saying that Diaz's development will benefit if he is able to spend a second successive year at his current club.

Much could depend on whether Zinedine Zidane, who has preferred other players to Diaz, stays at Los Blancos in the long term.
