TRANSFER TWIST: MAN UTD TO BACK OUT OF DYBALA DEAL
Reports say Manchester United are planning to end the chase of Juventus forward, Paolo Dybala as a result of disagreement with the player’s and agent’s demands.
According to Skysports, due to wage demands, excessive requests from his agent and a general sense that the player might be coming to Old Trafford for the wrong reasons, United are backing out of the deal.
There are indications that Dybala may be far from wanting to be part of United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s long-term project.
United had agreed a swap deal in principle with Juventus involving Dybala and Romelu Lukaku, according to Sky in Italy.
The deal was hinging on Dybala’s preference and his agreement of personal terms with the Premier League side.
But United’s reluctance to sign Dybala likely signals an end to any proposed swap with Juventus involving Lukaku.
Sky Sports News understands Manchester United will continue to talk to other clubs over the sale of the Belgium international.
It is understood Solskjaer is prepared to let Lukaku leave before Thursday’s transfer deadline and is willing to utilize emerging young players such as Mason Greenwood in attacking positions.
