Manchester United will once again have to part with a substantial chunk of change if they are to successfully lure one of Juventus' star players away from Turin.
The Old Trafford club have recently been linked with a move for Juve's Argentine striker Paulo Dybala, but have now been informed that the former Palermo hitman will cost them even more than the £89 million they spent on Paul Pogba, last summer.

In today's La Repubblica, via Calcio Mercato, it has been reported that the Bianconeri would part with the 23-year-old were an offer of €120 million (£107m million) to come their way.

Despite United's reported interest in the Argentina international, it is believed that Barcelona are the frontrunners for Dybala's signature, with the Juve striker a potential replacement for the outgoing Neymar,who looks set to complete a world record £197 million move to Paris Saint-Germain in the coming days.

While Dybala may be in demand, the 23-year-old striker isn't in any hurry to leave the Serie A champions, with whom he has won two consecutive domestic doubles and reached last season's Champions League finals.

Speaking during a post-match interview, via Metro following the Bianconeri's 3-2 pre-season victory over PSG, Dybala said, "I'm happy here, I'm fine and over these days I'll be training as hard as I can to have a great season."
Dybala has been a huge hit in Turin since he left the Sicilian capital in 2015, scoring 42 times in 94 appearances, striking up a lethal partnership with compatriot Gonzalo Higuain last term, with the Argentinian duo finding the net a combined 51 times in all competitions following Higuain's £75 million arrival from Napoli.

As well as their reported interest in Dybala, United continue to be linked with Gareth Bale, who's future at Real Madrid is once again being called into question with Los Blancos throwing their weight behind a mega money move for Monaco wonderkid Kylian Mbappe.
Manager Jose Mourinho has grown frustrated with United's lack of action in the transfer window, so far, with deals for Swedish defender Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku the only pieces of business the club have successfully negotiated, this summer. The Red Devils have also been strongly linked with moves for Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic and Tottenham's Eric Dier.
