Real Madrid have thwarted Tottenham Hotspur's efforts to sign a scintillating 24-year-old forward

Real Madrid are not willing to part with core members of their first team squad, with the expectation that only Toni Kroos and Nacho Fernandez (both out of contract) will leave. One of those classified as non-transferable is Brahim Diaz.

Brahim is having a stellar 2023-24 season, his first time at Real Madrid after a three-year spell at AC Milan. He was behind Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes in the pecking order, but still managed eight goals and six assists in La Liga, from just 18 starts. Despite the fact that he will also be behind Kylian Mbappe (and possibly Endrick Felipe) for next season, his place in Carlo Ancelotti's team is still assured.

As reported by Foot market, Real Madrid received approaches from Tottenham Hotspur and Roma for Brahim. They have told both clubs that the Moroccan striker will not leave this summer, and the player himself also wants to stay in the Spanish capital, despite the threat of fewer minutes next season.

Having Brahim as a fourth, or maybe fifth, attacking option next season shows how good the depth is. Real Madrid. It could end up being a big money sale down the line, but for now, stop.
