AC Milan have confirmed the signing of Brahim Diaz on loan from Real Madrid.
The deal, which will see the 21-year-old move to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza for the 2020/21 season, doesn't include an option to buy for the Italian club.
Brahim travelled to Milan on Wednesday to finalise the details in his contract and has a medical with the Serie A side on Thursday.
Milan, and in particular sporting director Paolo Maldini, were insistent on bringing the playmaker to the club this summer.
The Rossoneri intend to play the Spaniard as a No.10, with a winger either side of him in Stefano Pioli's attack.
Brahim will wear the No.21 at Milan - the shirt left by Zlatan Ibrahimovic who, in turn, takes the No.11 for the coming season.
Since his move from Manchester City in January 2019, the youngster has struggled to break into the first team at Real Madrid.
Both Los Blancos and Brahim have decided that spending some time away from the club playing regular football was the best option.

So happy for him. All he need is game time. He has immense talent. When RM buys you, you have something special in you.
