Dybala-Lukaku swap deal on?

Manchester United and Juventus are ‘closing in on an incredible swap deal’ that would see Paulo Dybala move to Old Trafford with Romelu Lukaku going the other way.

According to Corriere dello Sport in Italy, the swap is ‘ready’, with a deal very close to being agreed between the two clubs.

Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici is said to be pressing to convince the Argentine that a move to Old Trafford would work, with the end of the English transfer window edging ever closer.

United are trying to secure a deal, but will not let Lukaku go after the window shuts on August 8 - despite technically being able to still sell players until the end of the month.

Inter Milan are another club still in the hunt for £80m-rated Lukaku, but are reported to have fallen down the pecking order slightly with the emergence of Juve’s interest.

The Belgian striker has not travelled with his United team-mates to a training camp in Norway this week, further hinting at his impending exit.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given the 26-year-old four days to complete his move away, and although he looks set for a move to Italy, it is as yet unclear exactly where.
