According to reports in the Sunday Mirror, Manchester United are lining up a huge £155m move for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala, who has scored 54 goals in 102 appearances for the club.
What's the word, then?
Well, the Sunday Mirror says that the Red Devils want the impressive Argentinean after learning that he has now release clause in his contract with the Serie A giants.
The Sunday Mirror says that United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has already told Dybala's management team that Jose Mourinho wants him at Old Trafford if he does leave the Old Lady, with Barcelona also said to be keen.
If United did manage to pull off the coup it would be the second time in only a few years they have bought a player for big money from Juventus following the £89m addition of Paul Pogba in 2016.
Why do United want Dybala?
They want him because he is quickly becoming one of the best and most consistent attacking players in Europe, if not the world.
The 23-year-old scored 19 goals and provided a further 11 assists in 48 appearances in all competitions last season mainly playing as a secondary striker, but he looks set to better that total with 12 goals in eight outings in total already this term.
The Argentina international has already proven that he can score any type of goal and he also likes to run at opposition defenders having successfully completed 18 of the 26 take-ons he has attempted in six Serie A appearances this season.
Would he be a good signing?
He certainly would be.
While anyone will struggle to match Lionel Messi in the future, Dybala is perhaps the player most similar to him in European football right now and he would prove to be an exciting addition to the United frontline.
Dybala has shown his finishing abilities already and looks to have all of the attributes to be a success in the Premier League.
What's the verdict, then?
Well, United have plenty of attacking players in the form of Marcus Rashford, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial, but Dybala would certainly add some unpredictability and something a little bit different.
Prising him away from Juventus could be the main issue though, even if they are willing to offer £155m.
