da mrbet： Tottenham Hotspur looks set to miss out on Lassana Diarra according to the Sun with Harry Redknapp unwilling to meet Real Madrid’s valuation.
da dobrowin： Diarra is rated at £20 million by Madrid and won’t settle for anything less despite Redknapp valuing the midfielder below that figure.
The Spurs boss values the French enforcer at the £14 million mark and won’t go any higher as finances are tight at White Hart Lane.
This has now put the deal in jeopardy as with Redknapp knowing he has to sell those on the fringes before he can buy this summer.
He is keen to add a combative midfielder to his squad after agreeing to sell Wilson Palacios to Stoke City for £6 million.
The uncertainty around Luka Modric’s future at the club and the loss of Sandro for the first two months of the Premier League campaign has caused the Spurs boss to make a midfielder his main transfer priority.
Diarra doesn’t feature in Jose Mourinho’s plans this season and is keen to leave the Bernabeu in search of regular first team football.
He has had spells at Chelsea, Arsenal and Portsmouth before his £18 million move to Spain in 2009 and is a proven performer in the Premier League.
