Report: Carlo Ancelotti refuses Tottenham’s approach for Real Madrid star
Tottenham and Roma are reportedly chasing 24-year-old Brahim Diaz but Real Madrid, as well as Ancelotti himself, have ‘categorically refused’ the approaches.
Spurs look to be seeking another attacking midfield signing in an attempt to replace and improve upon Giovanni Lo Celso who according to Estadio Deportivo is ‘willing to return’ to Real Betis with his days at Tottenham looking numbered.

However, new updates emerging from Spain suggest that Spurs are also seeking the possibility of introducing some trophy-winning pedigree into the squad by signing Champions League winner, Brahim Diaz.
Spurs ‘test the temperature’ for Brahim Diaz
Brahim Diaz has enjoyed his first season back in the Spanish capital with Real Madrid since 2019/20 after an unorthodoxly long loan to AC Milan, scoring twelve goals in all competitions whilst also recording the same number of assists. (TransferMarkt)
The 24-year-olds impressive stats have, according to Footmercato, attracted the interest of ‘several clubs’ although the player, like his club, ‘feels very good in Madrid’ and wants to continue playing in the famous Real Madrid shirt next season.
Spurs are believed to, alongside Roma, have been ‘categorically refused’ when asking about signing Diaz with it reportedly requiring ‘an unrefusable offer’ for the Spanish champions to consider the sale of the Moroccan international.
Spurs Web Opinion
I personally would be inclined to chase Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze ahead of any other names that have been linked with Tottenham, even Brahim Diaz, whose eye for goal and technical ability is apparent.
Although with it now reportedly taking an ‘unrefusable’ offer to force Madrid’s hand, it’s likely that a deal for Diaz simply wouldn’t be good value for money.
