Conte’s exit from Inter was rumoured to be based around the Italians' tight transfer budget ahead of 2021/22. And though he would have got more money to work with at Spurs, Conte reportedly wanted to bring in a specific coaching team in north London. Levy subsequently blocked this request and Conte is no longer seen as an option to replace Mourinho.
