Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus 'in £73m Paulo Dybala talks'

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly hopeful of completing a £73m deal to sign Juventus forward Paulo Dybala by as early as Wednesday.

Paris Saint-Germain will reportedly begin talks with Juventus over a £73m deal for Paulo Dybala this week.

The Argentine striker has been told that he is free to leave Juventus this summer, but negotiations with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur broke down earlier this month due to his wage demands and issues over his image rights.

Inter Milan have also been linked with Dybala, possibly as part of a swap deal with Mauro Icardi, although the 25-year-old's preference is understood to be staying in Turin.

PSG are one club Dybala would consider joining, and the Daily Mail claims that sporting director Leonardo will open talks with the forward's agent Jorge Anton this week.

The Ligue 1 champions are understood to be pushing for a deal to be completed by as early as Wednesday following Sunday's shock 2-1 defeat to Rennes, which came in the absence of wantaway forward Neymar.

However, Juventus are thought to want as much as €100m (£91m) for Dybala - significantly more than PSG's opening offer.
