Manchester United have ended talks with Paulo Dybala because of the Juventus striker’s wage demands.
United entered talks with the Argentine, 25, as part of a proposed swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku, 26.
However, they were dubious about whether Dybala wanted to join them.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has targeted young, hungry players and Old Trafford officials decided that further bids for Dybala would be a move away from that.
Dybala joined Juventus from Palermo in 2015 and scored 10 times for the Italian champions last season, including the only goal in the first leg of the Champions League group match against United at Old Trafford in October.
Uncertainty remains over the future of Belgium striker Lukaku, who joined the Red Devils from Everton for an initial £75m in July 2017 and scored 12 league goals last term.
United rejected a 60m euro (£53.9m) bid from Juventus’ Serie A rivals Inter Milan for Lukaku in July.
