Real Madrid has already begun to plan for life after Marco Asensio. The 26-year-old player's contract expires at the end of the current campaign, and there are currently no plans to extend it. The white club actually had no problem selling Asensio this summer, if any formal offer had shown up, which did not happen.

In any case, Real Madrid has already begun working on finding a replacement for Marco Asensio, should his departure at the end of the season be confirmed. Brahim Díaz, according to Calciomercato, has a big chance to return to the Santiago Bernabéu and fill the gap Marco would leave in the attack plan for Real Madrid.

Brahim's situation at AC Milan is simple: he is on loan there until the end of the current campaign, at which point the "rossoneri" must decide whether to exercise the 22 million euro purchase option or not. The 23-year-old player is in his third season at the San Siro, and in his first 335 minutes of action across seven games (five in Serie A and two in the Champions League), he has already scored a goal and assisted another. He has played 335 minutes for the club so far. The signing of De Ketelaere has reduced the chances of Brahim at Milan.

If Brahim leaves Serie A to return to Spain at the hands of Real Madrid, Asensio could go the other way and start a new adventure in Italy next season. And it is that the Italian press has already placed him in the orbit of Juventus, without forgetting AC Milan, who already showed interest in him in the past.
