Player Analysis: Brahim Díaz

After the conclusion of the 2020/21 season, Italian giant AC Milan saw two key players leave the club on free transfers and this prompted its directors to look for replacements.

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma joined French club Paris-Saint Germain and the Rossoneri replaced him with Mike Maignan from Ligue 1 champions Lille for a reported figure of €15 million. Meanwhile, attacking midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu left for city rival Inter, but completing a deal for an apparent replacement was not easy.

Nikola Vlašić from CSKA Moscow drew AC Milan’s attention but the Russian club wanted €30 million for the Croatian international and he eventually transferred to West Ham United in the English Premier League. Slovenian veteran Josip Iličić was also a reported target but Il Diavolo could not complete a deal for the 33-year-old.
