This transfer could've changed Spurs history forever.. #shorts

Back in 2019 Spurs were so close to signing Paulo Dybala, but fell at the final hurdle

Transcript

00:00Remember when Paolo Dybala nearly signed for Tottenham?

00:02A £65m deal was agreed from Juventus and everything was ready,

00:06but it broke down due to something crazy.

00:09In 2019, Tottenham reached a full agreement with Juventus to sign Paolo Dybala.

00:13Pochettino was desperate for it and the player wanted the move.

00:16It was all cut out to be the next big Premier League transfer.

00:19But then chaos.

00:21Dybala's image rights were a big problem for the move.

00:23They were owned by a third party, so not Juventus and not even Dybala himself.

00:27And Spurs would have had to pay extra to get it finished.

00:30And obviously in prime Spurs-y fashion, they didn't want to do that.

00:34The negotiations broke down on deadline day.

00:37Spurs backed out and Juventus just didn't want any of the legal drama.

00:40And of course, Dybala stayed put at Juve.

00:43He could have linked up with Kane and Son and could have been one of the most influential players

00:47in the Tottenham side that was in the Champions League at the time.

00:49A swift reminder that they got all the way to the final in that year.

00:53All that talent blocked by paperwork.

00:54Did Tottenham fumble the deal or did Dybala dodge a bullet from being the next big Premier League flop?
