ALMOST DONE DEAL: LUKAKU AGREES TERMS WITH JUVE; DYBALA MISSES TRAINING
Paulo Dybala missed a routine medical at Juventus on Friday and has not returned to their Continassa training headquarters as talk of a move away from Turin gathers pace.
Meanwhile, Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku who is the player that the EPL sides want to swap for Dybala has agreed terms with the Bianconeri in a deal that will be worth €9 million (£8m/$10m) a year.
Another part of the puzzle for the sensational swap deal is Dybala’s wages in Manchester, with the Argentina international desiring a significant pay increase from his current €7.5m-per-year deal in Italy.
According to Goal, Mario Mandzukic has also been offered to United during sporting director Fabio Paratici’s visit to London for talks over the Dybala and Lukaku deal, with Juve keen to get the Croatian off their wage bill.
It remains unlikely at this stage that United would be interested in bringing the 33-year-old to Old Trafford, however, despite the Serie A champions’ willingness to offload him to the Red Devils.
Both Dybala and Lukaku, meanwhile, were somewhat frozen out at their clubs last season.
