West Brom will end their interest in Leeds defender Charlie Taylor if an agreement over compensation cannot be reached, manager Tony Pulis insists.
The 23-year-old, who joined Leeds aged nine, is out of contract this summer.
However, as he is under 24, any club he signs for would have to pay Leeds a fee related to his development.
Pulis said: "A tribunal could put an extraordinary amount of money on it and you're stuck with it. It's a risk that, at this moment, is not worth taking."
It has been reported that the Baggies have offered £3.
