Manchester United are said to be confident of tying down a deal to land Juventus forward Paulo Dybala in the summer transfer window. Dybala, who can play as a second striker or even on the wings, is regarded as an outstanding talent in a Juventus side that has swept it all on the domestic front in recent years, reaching last season’s Champions League final as well.
Jose Mourinho is looking for a ‘magical’ player to add some creativity to his squad as he pushes for more major honours at Old Trafford after securing the EFL Cup and Europa League last season.
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic expected to leave Manchester United at the end of his contract this summer and Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford still learning the ropes, Mourinho wants a new No.10 to pair up front with Romelu Lukaku.
According to the Daily Star, Mourinho feels that the Argentine is the ideal candidate to solve the No.10 problems at the club due to his impressive pace, technique and creativity. The United manager is ‘confident’ of landing the 24-year-old Argentine for a price of around £60m.
Reportedly, Dybala’s agent has apparently reached out to the 20-time English champions. The Argentina international wants to leave Juventus after falling out with his manager Max Allegri at the Turin side.
Transfer News Live posted a tweet, with a picture of Dybala and caption: “Manchester United are keen to sign Juventus’ attacking midfielder Paulo Dybala in a £60m deal. (Source: Daily Star)”

How tf would Dybala be worth £60M if Lukaku was worth £75M ♂

£60m?! HAHAHAHAHA.
When Virgil Van Djik costs £75m you think Dybala is gonna go for £60m?!
Try £160m and get back to me.
