The 23-year-old is in his third consecutive campaign on loan at Milan, who have an option to make the move permanent for a fee of £19.5m at the end of the season.
However, the Spaniard’s parent club, Real Madrid, have a buy-back option of £24m and could activate that clause before selling him on for a profit.
According to The Sun, Chelsea and Newcastle are keeping tabs on the situation ahead of a potential move.
Diaz spent four years at Manchester City as a teenager, but failed to establish himself in the senior side and made just five Premier League appearances before his move to Real Madrid in 2019.
He has impressed since a move to Milan, where he won the Serie A title last season. The one-cap Spain international has scored five goals in all competitions during the current campaign, including the winner as the Rossoneri beat Tottenham in the Champions League’s last 16.
