Man Utd To Land Dybala
Man Utd target Juventus ace Paulo Dybala: Jose Mourinho confident of £60m deal. Jose Mourinho has set his sights on landing Argentina Ace Paulo Dybala in a £60m deal from Juventus.
He has won 12 Argentinean caps and is expected to be in their squad for next summer’s World Cup in Russia. La Joya - or the Jewel in Spanish - is also a target of Bayern Munich and Barcelona, who view him as a long term replacement for Neymar.
But Manchester United are in pole position to land him after appointing Javier Ribalta as their head scout in the summer. Ribalta was lured to United from Juve, where he was head of scouting and had a close relationship with Dybala.
Arsenal Continue Talks With Draxler
Arsenal have been told they must spend £40million to land Julian Draxler. The Germany forward has been a long-term target for Arsene Wenger.
He joined PSG last year from Wolfsburg but the 24-year-old has failed to truly impress since.
Arsenal have long been admirers of Draxler and now they could be encouraged to make a move when the window re-opens for business. PSG are determined to rival Manchester City for the signature of Alexis Sanchez.
