Premier League duo target ex-Man City wonderkid amid Real Madrid uncertainty

Chelsea and Newcastle are keeping tabs on the situation of Real Madrid’s former Manchester City starlet Brahim Diaz.

The 23-year-old forward has been in impressive form on loan at AC Milan and, as a result, a complex summer lies ahead. Milan have an option to buy Diaz for around £19million but Real Madrid want to recuperate the £23.5m fee they paid City to take him in January 2019.

The Italian giants will seek talks with Los Blancos to see if a deal can be struck at around £21m but they do not wish to go above that mark. That has opened the door for Premier League interest, including from Chelsea and Newcastle, and there is a belief in Spain that if any English side does come to the table, the fee could be as high as £30m.
