Spurs will be reportedly paying Juve £15.8million up front for Bentancur, with £5.7million due in potential add-ons.

Meanwhile, Kulusevski joins on an 18-month loan deal that, according to Sky Sports, will cost Spurs £8.3million.

Tottenham will pay £2.5million this season and £5.8million next term, claimed the report.

In addition, Spurs reportedly have an obligation to buy the 21-year-old for £29.2million if certain sporting criteria are met.

On his Instagram stories, Dybala shared farewell messages for Bentancur and Kulusevski:

As did McKennie:

Tottenham linked with both Dybala and McKennie in recent weeks

Spurs reportedly came close to signing Dybala when Mauricio Pochettino was at N17.

However, the deal seemingly fell apart at the eleventh hour.

And this month, links between Tottenham and Dybala resurfaced.

La Repubblica – via TEAMtalk – claimed that Spurs were eyeing the Argentine ahead of a potential summer swoop.

The 28-year-old has entered the final six months of his contract at the Serie A giants.

According to Sky Italia – via Football Italia – Juve initially offered Dybala a new contract.

However, they reportedly rescinded that offer, as they now want the Argentine attacker to take a pay cut. 

Meanwhile, football.london recently reported that Paratici was also eyeing McKennie from Juventus.

However, Tottenham would probably have to wait until the summer to sign the United States midfielder.
