Philippe Coutinho will reportedly not consider a move to Tottenham this summer because he is still furious at how he was treated by their chairman Daniel Levy last year.
The attacking midfielder is currently on loan at Bayern Munich from Barcelona, but the German giants are not said to be interested in making the move permanent following Coutinho's largely underwhelming season.
The 27-year-old has been unable to recreate the impressive form he showed at Liverpool since joining Barcelona in 2018, and he was allegedly nearly sold to Spurs last summer.
But according to the Daily Mail the notoriously frugal Levy attempted to reduce the finances involved with the deal all but done, and the whole thing broke down.
Coutinho, who was keen on the idea of a return to the Premier League, was angry with the businessman as a result, and such is his rage that he has ruled out a move to Spurs in the future.
The north London club are among those being linked with a move for Coutinho this summer, along with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, but it appears they will miss out on the playmaker for the second time.
Coutinho had scored eight goals and created six assists in 22 appearances in the Bundesliga before the season suspended, and the club are thought to have seen enough to decide against bringing him in for the following campaign.
Speaking last month, Bayern chief Karl Heinz Rummenigge told Sport Bild : "Why is it [the transfer] not decisive? This is a difficult question. I think he played well in some games while in others he gave the impression of being a little inhibited."
Barcelona are said to be open to sending the Brazilian out on loan again next season, as they are unlikely to find a team to pay anywhere near the £105m they splashed out to sign the player from Liverpool.
