Liverpool and Man City are interested in signing a talented goalkeeper, while Man Utd are ready to spend big on a €102m duo, according to Friday’s European papers.
MAN UTD EYE DOUBLE SWOOP ON JUVE
Manchester United are eyeing a double raid on Juventus this summer for a pair of influential stars, according to reports.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is understandably keen to overhaul a United squad which finished sixth last season, missing out on a place in the Champions League.
While the approach seems to be signing young players with high potential, such as Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, it seems the Norwegian is also looking for some experience to compliment.
According to Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport, United have reached out to Juventus regarding a possible deal for Paulo Dybala.
The Bianconeri are seeking €80million (£72m) for the Argentina international, who has no desire to leave but could find himself struggling for a consistent spot in the starting XI, just as he did last season.
Dybala scored 10 goals in 42 appearances for Juve last term but the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo has left him, more often than not, with a place on the bench.
The player’s agent even cited the arrival of the Portuguese superstar as a strong reason why he could look to move on this summer.
Meanwhile, a report on CaughtOffside (who cite the Mirror) claims that United have made contact with Juve over the potential of signing Blaise Matuidi in a £20m (€22.3m) deal.
They reportedly face competition from other clubs in England and around Europe, but given the lesser playing time facing the Frenchman next season it appears a deal would be possible.
The arrivals of Adrien Rabiot and Aaron Ramsey could push Matuidi down the pecking order under Maurizio Sarri, while the player has been strongly linked with a move to England in the past.
Matuidi, formerly of PSG, has four Ligue 1 titles and two Serie A titles under his belt – as well as a World Cup winners medal from last year.
