Antonio Conte's Tottenham side opted against signing Argentine international Paulo Dybala due to the fact he was holding out for a staggering £280,000 a week.
The 28-year-old forward leaves Juventus this summer on a free transfer after the player could not reach an agreement with the Turin-based titans over an extension, putting plenty of top clubs across the continent on high alert.
Fellow Premier League sides Arsenal and Manchester United are both rumoured to have explored the possibility of signing Dybala. However, the astronomical wages prove to be a sticking point for many teams - not just Spurs, as per SportsMail.
