While Diaz spent three seasons on loan (from 2020 to 2023) at the San Siro, he has now become a vital member of Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti's squad. The latter initially viewed Diaz as a supporting cast in his team, but the Moroccan's improved performances have made him seem indispensable to the Italian manager.
Diaz has played seven matches (started two games) for Madrid in LaLiga this season, scoring one goal and picking up two assists, operating primarily as a right-winger. However, his ability to float across the front line as a left-winger and attacking midfielder adds to his skill set.

The Manchester City youth product adds a lot of value to the Real Madrid side when he is available, and his recent return from a muscle injury has been valued highly. Los Blancos are currently suffering from several injury issues, and Diaz can foresee a starting role for himself in it now.
