Real Madrid want to keep Brahim Díaz amid Tottenham interest | OneFootball

There will be plenty of competition in the forward line at Real Madrid next season, following Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at the club on a free transfer. However, Foot Mercato understands that, in spite of that increased competition, Brahim Díaz (24) wishes to remain with Los Blancos, despite interest in acquiring his services.

Last season, Díaz scored 12 goals and registered nine assists in 44 matches, finishing as Real Madrid’s fifth-top scorer. It is no surprise, therefore, that the La Liga champions are looking to retain the Morocco international next season. Díaz also wants to remain at the Bernabeu and fight for his place in the team, despite the big-name arrival.

That decision, taken by the player and the club, comes despite significant interest in recent weeks. Foot Mercato understands that Tottenham Hotspur and AS Roma both made enquiries regarding Díaz’s availability, however, both refused a categoric ‘no’. Whilst an “un-refusable” offer could alter Real Madrid’s stance, a departure for the Morocco forward does not look to be on the cards at this moment in time.
