Spurs Plot 52 Million January Gambit for Real Madrid Dynamo Diaz
11 January 2026
Tottenham's Bold Bid for Real Madrid Star Ibrahim Diaz
Spurs are reportedly aiming to land Real Madrid’s Ibrahim Diaz in the current January window, intensifying their pursuit of a marquee attacking signing.
Tottenham wants a major attacking deal to cover the absence of Ghanaian star Mohammed Kudus, who injured his quadriceps tendon.
Reports suggest Kudus could be out until March.
According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham have taken a serious step toward signing the Moroccan international Diaz of Real Madrid in January.
The report added that Spurs have tabled a bid of 52 million pounds for the AFCON-leading scorer.
Diaz has been delivering impressive displays in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, scoring five goals in five consecutive matches and guiding the Atlas Lions to the semi-finals for the first time in 22 years.
Thomas Frank believes Diaz is the ideal replacement for Kudus.
Diaz’s AFCON form is cited as proof Spurs hope to land him in this window.
Punchline 1: If Diaz signs, Spurs will finally have a forward who scores as reliably as a calendar reminder—always on time.
Punchline 2: And if it falls through, well, January transfer drama is the gift that keeps on giving... to the gossip columnists.
