Brahim kissed Milan's badge after scoring against Sampdoria on Saturday (May 20) in a 5-1 win. Upon asking why he kissed the badge, the midfielder said its because of what he “felt”.
“I’m happy here at Milan. I feel very good at this club, then I don’t know what gonna happen [with Real Madrid],” said the 23-year-old midfielder. “I kissed the badge because that’s what I felt in that moment”.

"Brahim has unique skills and I believe the desire would be to keep him," he said.
Pioli also said that the club needs a strong striker in the summer.
"We need a strong striker to join us in the summer. De Keteleare to leave or stay? I don't know, we'll see at the end of the season," he added.
According to Sky Sports, Milan have no second thoughts about keeping Brahim and they will meet with Real Madrid’s executive to discuss a permanent transfer for a fee of around €30m.
