Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to react after La Razón revealed that José Mourinho wants to sign Sevilla centre-back Diego Carlos.
It is said that Mourinho has specifically asked Spurs to sign the Brazilian, who has a €75 million (£64.5 million) release clause in his contract.
La Razón add that Sevilla may be willing to negotiate a deal below that sum if Tottenham include Davinson Sánchez in negotiations.

In that respect, it sounds like Tottenham could have a chance to sign the 28-year-old, who has been a colossal figure for the Spanish outfit this season.
Diego Carlos has made 38 appearances in all competitions for Sevilla, and helped them win the Europa League last term in a backline which also contained Sergio Reguilón.
As covered by us yesterday, the pair seem to be good friends, and shared a joke on the pitch after the Europa League final win over Inter Milan last term.
