Having crashed out of the UEFA Champions League in the round of 16, Real Madrid are looking to bolster their squad over the summer. SportMediaset claim that the Spanish giants are eyeing one of Juventus' star players of the 2019/20 campaign and no, it is not former player Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to the Italian news outlet, that man is none other than Paulo Dybala, the Argentina attacker who has been the right-hand man for MVP Ronaldo. Not only are Los Blancos interested in the former Palermo sensation, but Zidane's side are even ready to offer one of two talented players in exchange.
The Primera Division champions are hoping to pull off a deal mirroring the arrangement Barcelona and the Old Lady reached when swapping Arthur for Pjanic. Real Madrid are open to sending either Toni Kroos or Isco in the opposite direction.
AS have also echoed what SportingMediaset are saying but the Spanish news outlet have revealed a caveat. They write that while Los Blancos are keen on this arrangement, Juventus are in no desire to sell the Argentine.
The reasons are obvious: despite a bumpy start to the campaign, Dybala has proven to be influential for the club. Paulo was one of the key players behind their resurgence after the return of football and his absence was truly felt in the recent clash with Lyon. Regardless, the South American is tied in contract negotiations with the Italians which means his future in Turin is not yet cemented.
