Real Madrid have told Tottenham they want cash for midfielder Lassana Diarra.

The Daily Mail says Tottenham will have to spend £8.5million to bring Diarra to White Hart Lane after Real Madrid made it clear they will not let him go out on loan.

Boss Jose Mourinho has told Diarra he has no future at the club and wants to sell.

Madrid already have an offer from Lyon and Manchester United have expressed an interest.
