Dybala keeps Manchester United, Juventus waiting, makes fresh “impossible” demands

Reports in Italy claim Paulo Dybala is making a Romelu Lukaku swap deal becoming difficult as he is asking for Manchester United to meet his very high demands, including a €15m commission.

The Old Lady are keen to sign the Belgium international to strenghten their attack, and are prepared to make the deal happen by sending Dybala to the Old Trafford club.

But reports in Italy and England state that the Argentine is unenthusiatic about the deal, while Lukaku is interested in the Turin switch.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the obstacles placed in the way of this transfer includes a €15m commission for his agent.

The salary demands are at least €10m per year plus bonuses, along with the €85-100m fee Juventus would command.

Most of that would be cancelled out by Lukaku, but there is still a gap between the valuation of the two forwards.

Dybala returned to Turin yesterday morning and was driven straight home, but is not expected at the training ground today either.

The Corriere dello Sport maintains Juve told Dybala he’s not due back for training until Monday, despite La Joya flying back earlier than expected.

His long-awaited crunch talks with Coach Maurizio Sarri could even happen over the phone, according to Football Italia.

Not only are Juve pushing Dybala towards Manchester United, but the Daily Mail also claims Cristiano Ronaldo urged him to accept the move during a WhatsApp conversation with the rest of the squad.

French site Le 10 Sport maintain the Argentine is holding out for the Premier League transfer window to close so he can go to Paris Saint-Germain.
