Paulo Dybala may thwart Juventus’ bid to snatch Romelu Lukaku away from Inter, as Corriere dello Sport explained this morning.

Dybala is one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s key transfer targets at Manchester United this summer, amid talks the clubs will arrange a swap deal for Lukaku.

However, La Joya is only thinking about life at Juventus for now and will prove it by returning to preseason training early on Thursday.

Inter have been trying to secure a deal for Lukaku all summer, but United’s intransigence on their asking price has opened the door to their bitter Serie A rivals.

Dybala wants to speak with Juve’s new head coach Maurizio Sarri before he begins to contemplate the idea of leaving.

The 25-year-old is excited by the prospect of playing as a false nine in his 4-3-3 system, instead of working all over the pitch like he did with Max Allegri.

Paris Saint-Germain would in any case be a more likely destination for Dybala than United, especially given the arrival of Leonardo as sporting director.

The Brazilian has a soft spot for the forward and views him as an ideal successor to Neymar, should he depart at the end of the transfer window.
