Two Juventus stars offered to Manchester United in exchange for Paul Pogba

Those comments have alerted Juventus and, according to ESPN sources, the club are attempting to entice Manchester United into a swap deal for Pogba as they can’t afford to match the Premier League club’s asking price. 

United have reportedly been informed by intermediaries that Dybala and Bernardeschi would both be made available if the 27-year-old moved in the opposite direction. 

Dybala, who almost joined the Reds in the summer of 2019, has struggled to hold down a regular starting role under Andrea Pirlo this term and his future in Turin is uncertain. 

Out of contract in 2020 – the same summer as Pogba – he has insisted talks over a new deal have not been held. 

“My agent was in Turin for a long time and was never called by the club,” the Argentine said after scoring against Genoa last weekend. 

“It disappoints me to hear talk of invested financial figures. It would be better if the truth could be told because talking about those aspects in this period pits the fans against me.”
