Manchester United are said to be interested in AC Milan’s Brahim Diaz.
Díaz is currently on loan in Italy from Real Madrid and has to make an important decision next summer.
The 23-year-old winger has made an excellent start to the season, scoring four goals in nine Serie A games.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Manchester City player has an ‘anti-Man Utd’ clause in his contract, which would force United to pay 40% of his fee to City.
This won’t be the first time the Red Devils will have to pay their rivals.
It happened with the transfer of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.
United were forced to shell out around £11m, according to the clause.
Diaz is an exciting talent, finally starting to show his potential in Milan after a difficult spell in Madrid.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola spoke about how he did his best to keep him at the club:
“We did with Brahim everything that we have done with Phil [Foden and with Jadon [Sancho] – important players, and we did absolutely everything.”
“The only one who decides to stay is Phil.”
“We wish him all the best. Real Madrid isn’t a bad move, so hopefully he can get as many minutes as he wants and that he didn’t want here for many reasons”.
