Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra must drop his personal demands to get a move to Tottenham.
The People says Diarra will have to accept a 20 per cent pay cut in order to join the club.
Spurs want a decision from Real Madrid by Wednesday over {whether they are going to accept a £12m bid for the midfielder. But then Diarra must also agree the terms of a three-year contract worth £55,000-a-week.
The Frenchman already earns more than that as part of a deal worth £3.5m-a-year in Spain but has his heart set on a place in the Premier League.
