Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has conceded that his club would be unable to meet Carlos Tevez's wage demands.
The Manchester City striker is expected to leave the Etihad Stadium during the ongoing transfer window, with AC Milan his likely destination.
Redknapp has also confessed his interest in the Argentine recently but believes that a move would be impossible.
"[Tevez] is a fantastic player but I can't see that I could afford his wages," said Redknapp. "He is on over £200,000 a week, we don't pay that sort of money. It's way beyond what we can pay."
Redknapp went on to reveal that he is unlikely to sign anybody this month.
