Paulo Dybala will not join Spurs

Manchester United v Juventus - UEFA Champions League Group H

Paulo Dybala is not going to Tottenham Hotspur. It always sounded like a deal that was too good to be true. Spurs had reached an agreement with Juventus over the fee. However, that was the easy part. Even Manchester United couldn't reach an agreement with Dybala over wages.

According to the latest reports, the meeting between Tottenham's representatives and the player's camp concluded earlier today. The parties involved weren't able to reach an agreement. Spurs couldn't reach an agreement with the company that owns Dybala's image rights.

The report goes on to add that Juventus and the player's agent believe that all talks over a potential transfer move have finished. Dybala has reportedly been told by Maurizio Sarri and co. that his services are not required in Turin next season. The Argentine is reluctant to leave and has seen two potential moves collapse within a week.
