Matteo Moretto has dismissed rumors linking Brahim Diaz with a return to Milan while attention shifts to Real Madrid’s Endrick. A La Liga club is reportedly eyeing a January loan move for the young Brazilian, as his future at Madrid remains uncertain with limited playing time this season.
Moretto Dismisses Rumors of Brahim Diaz’s Return to Milan
The attacking midfielder played for the club from 2020 to 2023, gaining popularity with the fans. Real Madrid then recalled him, and last season, he scored 12 goals in 44 appearances.
This season has been more challenging for Diaz, partly due to an injury. Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Milan are monitoring his situation. When asked about the rumors on X, Matteo Moretto, a specialist in both Spanish and Milan football, responded with a simple “No.”
In other words, a January return to Milan for the midfielder is highly unlikely. The Rossoneri are focusing on other priorities, like signing a defensive midfielder, and bringing him in would be considered a ‘luxury’ move—something rarely pursued in the winter transfer window.
It’s also worth noting that Christian Pulisic has recently featured more in the No. 10 role, and Fonseca has frequently used a three-man midfield in several matches.
La Liga Club Eye January Loan for Real Madrid Teen Star
There were high expectations for Real Madrid’s Endrick when he made his high-profile move to the club this past summer.
Endrick joined Real Madrid after a standout period at Palmeiras, which established him as one of the most promising young talents in the world.
The excitement surrounding Endrick grew even more after he scored in both his La Liga and Champions League debuts, earning him a role as a super sub.
Since then, it has been a challenging period for Endrick, as he has struggled for game time and his performance has notably declined.
It’s fair to say that he has become one of the casualties of Carlo Ancelotti’s hesitation to involve more young players in the first team.
Endrick’s Future at Real Madrid Remains Uncertain
With that in mind, Fichajes reports that Endrick’s future at Santiago Bernabeu is uncertain.
The player’s role has significantly decreased, leading the Real Madrid camp to consider all options regarding his future.
In fact, the idea of loaning him out soon is gaining momentum, as Real Madrid does not want a talent like Endrick to waste away on the bench.
Real Valladolid Keen on Signing Endrick
According to the report, Real Valladolid is one of the clubs interested in signing Endrick as the January transfer window approaches.
The club’s president, Ronaldo Nazario, has personally taken the initiative to advance negotiations with his former club, Real Madrid.
While it remains unclear whether Real Valladolid is pursuing a loan deal for Endrick, it is highly unlikely that Real Madrid would consider a permanent transfer for the young forward in the near future. Given his potential and the club’s investment in his development, a permanent move appears off the table at this stage. Real Madrid is still evaluating the best path forward for the player, especially with limited first-team opportunities this season.
The club is expected to make a definitive decision regarding Endrick’s future in the coming months. In the meantime, Real Valladolid and several other European clubs are keeping a careful eye on his development. As the January transfer window approaches, his situation will likely attract more attention, with clubs assessing whether a loan move could benefit all parties involved.
