Juve all-clear for Dybala-Lukaku swap

By Football Italia staff

Juventus confirmed “interest” for Paulo Dybala and are ready to offer him to Manchester United in exchange for cash plus Romelu Lukaku.

According to Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia, Juve are preparing a proposal to the Old Trafford club.

Dybala is valued at €100m, whereas Manchester United have already told Inter they want €85m for Lukaku, so La Joya would move to England with a cash sum going to Turin too.

Sportitalia maintain Maurizio Sarri has given the all-clear to the switch, as he could use Lukaku as the centre-forward and return Cristiano Ronaldo to his more traditional wide left role.

At the same time, the Bianconeri would be putting a huge spanner in the works for their rivals Inter, who have openly courted Lukaku ever since Antonio Conte took over.

Juve vice-president Pavel Nedved told Sky Sport Italia today that Dybala had attracted “some proposals, there is some interest, but we wait for concrete action so we can then decide calmly.”

It’s believed the other clubs ready to make an offer for the Argentine are Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain.

The same sources also maintain Dybala is unhappy at the idea of leaving Juventus and will return early from his vacation this week so he can meet with Sarri face-to-face.

If in this encounter the Coach tells Dybala that he is not going to be a regular, then he will take the departure into consideration.
