Tottenham has failed in their bid to land Real Madrid youngster, Miguel Gutierrez.
The young left-back has been on the radar of Jose Mourinho since the Special One managed Manchester United.
The 19-year-old hasn’t broken into the Madrid first team, but they regard him highly at the club and Spurs wanted him to continue his development in London.
The Spain under-19 international is seen as a star of the future and Spurs were looking to make him an understudy to his fellow Spaniard, Sergio Reguilon.
But Defensa Central says Spurs have had a bid for his signature rejected by Madrid who is not looking to lose him any time soon.
The club sees him as a future star and would rather allow him to continue developing his game with their B team.
Spurs have already started making plans for the summer, but it is unlikely that Gutierrez would have been a starter when next season begins.
Apart from Reguilon, Spurs also has Ben Davies who plays as a left-back for Mourinho as well.
The competition for a place in Madrid is also tough, as Ferland Mendy and Marcelo are currently the first choices.
The teenager might have to decide if he sees a surer path to first-team action in Madrid or at Spurs.
