Despite the fact that Real Madrid is having a great season, there are some players who still don't seem to have their future clear in the 'merengue' squad, such as Marco Asensio. And it is that the forward is not one of the coach Carlo Ancelotti's indisputable starters, who already has his eye on a player who plays in Serie A to strengthen the offensive area in the next transfer market.
It is about Brahim Díaz, who was one of the players who left Real Madrid in the summer of 2020. However, in the current season, the forward is under Stefano Pioli's orders and has become one of AC Milan's most outstanding players, which leads the coach of the white team to consider him as a possible replacement for Asensio, if he finally leaves after the end of his contract in June.
As a reminder, at the time, the 23-year-old player went in search of minutes, which he could not find at Real Madrid, something he did achieve at San Siro, where the Spaniard has played a total of 92 matches, accumulating a total of 15 goals and 9 assists. In view of this, he is one of the candidates to return to the 'merengue' entity from July 2023, having a more than promising future on the right wing of the Madrid team.
However, despite the possible return of Brahim, the player's continuity in the 2023-24 season is not guaranteed at the moment, something that will depend on the transfer negotiation that will take place with AC Milan, a team that wishes to continue counting on his services in the coming years.
New absence from Real Madrid for the match against RB Leipzig
Luka Modric, one of the most important players in the Spanish team, has dropped out of the squad for the match this Tuesday. And it is that the coaching staff of the 'merengue' squad has deemed it appropriate to remove him from the list, expressing it in an official statement issued through their social networks.
It should be noted that the reasons why the '10' white is not available for this match have not yet been revealed. In view of this, the Croatian will join the list of absentees from Real Madrid for the match against the Germans, a team that will seek to secure victory to be closer to qualifying for the next phase of the tournament.
The other players who will not be in the match against RB Leipzig will be Federico Valverde and Karim Benzema, who were also left out of the squad. In the case of the Uruguayan, he will not travel after the tough tackle that 'Papu' Gómez made on him in the match against Sevilla. While the French striker was also absent from the match against the Sevillians and will continue to be absent due to technical decision.
