Dybala, 28, is out of contract this summer and has failed to reach an agreement on a new contract. When Juve completes the €75 million acquisition of Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina in the next days, the Argentina international will face stiff competition for his spot.
Inter Milan are also interested in Dybala, and would be able to provide him a chance to extend his career in Serie A if former Juventus director Beppe Marotta joined the club.
Manchester City, on the other hand, is now intrigued. According to ESPN, the club is close to completing a €18 million deal for 21-year-old River Plate attacker Julian Alvarez, although Dybala would be a more urgent alternative.

10.36 a.m. GMT: According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez still wants three more players before the transfer season shuts.
Barca have already signed Dani Alves and Ferran Torres this month, but Xavi wants further reinforcements to improve his team’s chances of finishing in the top four. Xavi wants to sign a left-back and two strikers, with Nicolas Tagliafico of Ajax, Alvaro Morata of Juventus, and Adama Traore of Wolverhampton Wanderers all on his want list.
Any additions will almost certainly be contingent on Ousmane Dembele’s status. The club has given him till the end of the month to either extend or resign his contract, which ends in the summer. Both approaches would allow the team to add new players while staying inside the league’s spending budget. Arrivals this week may be tricky if the Frenchman chooses to end his contract early.
Xavi wanted Morata, according to ESPN, as Barca aim to add a No. 9 to their team after Sergio Aguero’s retirement. Meanwhile, owing to the uncertainty surrounding Dembele’s future and an injury to Ansu Fati, winger Traore has emerged as a viable possibility, with Tagliafico tasked with providing competition for Jordi Alba at left-back.
09.57 GMT: Erling Haaland has said that it is time to “move on” from his statements earlier this month regarding Borussia Dortmund forcing him to make a choice about his future.
According to ESPN sources, Haaland, 21, is set to depart Dortmund at the conclusion of the season, with elite Premier League teams such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain interested in signing him.
“I don’t want to talk too much about it,” she says, “but I thought it was past time for me to speak out.” In an interview with selected Bundesliga rights holders, Haaland explained why he felt compelled to speak out publicly about the matter.
“There were a lot of other people speaking, so that was the end of it. I don’t want to say too much right now. I’ve said what I’ve said, and now it’s time to go on.”
09.40 GMT: According to the Brazilian daily Lance, Palmeiras are contemplating placing a €100 million release clause on 15-year-old wonder Endrick, despite interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, and a slew of other top European teams.
Endrick, who has shined at the U-17 and U-20 levels in recent months, with video of his goals going viral, is still too young to sign a professional deal, and Palmeiras will only be allowed to do so when he turns 16 in July.
According to Marca, with Real Madrid leading the race to recruit him, a current offer of €30m-€40m would be required to secure an agreement for an obligatory acquisition in two and a half years, when Endrick would be permitted to leave Brazil at the age of 18.
09.18 GMT: Jesse Lingard is becoming more dissatisfied with Manchester United’s treatment of him, with discussions over a prospective loan transfer to Newcastle deadlocked and on the verge of collapse, according to ESPN’s Rob Dawson.
Lingard, whose contract will expire in the summer, wants to stay at St James’ Park until the conclusion of the season. He is frustrated that United has declined to negotiate with Tottenham or West Ham this month since they are considered as contenders for a top-four spot.
United are asking Newcastle to cover Lingard’s salary, pay a £2.5 million loan fee, and another £12 million if they escape relegation, according to ESPN. Newcastle would have to pay more than £15 million for the whole package.
Lingard’s camp is concerned that Newcastle may call halt on their chase and shift their focus to Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli.
According to ESPN, United has previously rejected down a £6 million loan fee from Newcastle for Lingard, despite agreeing to loan Anthony Martial to Sevilla for free.
Lingard’s agents believe he is being treated unfairly since he has so far refused to sign a new deal, meaning he will be allowed to leave Old Trafford for free on June 30.
08.42 GMT: According to various sources in Spain, Valencia has accepted Atletico Madrid’s latest bid for Daniel Wass, and the deal is close to being official.
Marca and AS both concur that a transaction has been reached for a sum of roughly €3 million, with Marca estimating €2.7 million plus variables.
Wass, 32, is a versatile player who is officially a midfielder but has regularly played fullback for Valencia. His contract at Mestalla expires this summer, making him a bargain.
After selling Kieran Trippier to Newcastle, Atletico have been looking to reinforce their full-back position, and are allegedly close to acquiring Lille’s Reinildo Mandava.
According to COPE radio, Valencia is working against the clock to sign Ilaix Moriba as a substitute for Wass.
Negotiations are nearing completion, and the 19-year-old, who just represented Guinea at the Africa Cup of Nations, might return to Spain six months after joining Leipzig from Barcelona.
Valencia has asked Leipzig to sign Moriba on a season-long loan deal. Since his €16 million move from Barcelona, Moriba has only made six appearances for Leipzig in all competitions.
8 a.m. GMT: Tottenham Hotspur are poised to boost their offer for FC Porto winger Luis Diaz after their first offer of €45 million plus add-ons was rejected, according to ESPN’s James Olley.
The availability of a €80 million ($90.23 million) release clause in the 25-year-contract old’s gives Porto a strong negotiation position, but Spurs believe a deal can be done for less.
Tottenham intends to raise their offer, but the clubs’ values remain far apart as discussions continue, creating one component of what looks to be a hectic few days at Spurs.
Antonio Conte has emphasized the need of bringing in reinforcements this month rather than waiting until the summer, and Diaz, a Colombian international who has 16 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions this season, has been highlighted as a major element of his reconstruction.

According to Julien Laurens, there is “discontent” in the Chelsea dressing room with Thomas Tuchel’s management.
GOSSIP ON PAPER (by Nick Judd)
– Southampton are so desperate to retain striker Armando Broja that they’re willing to break their transfer record to sign him permanently. TEAMtalk reports Broja has pleased the Saints coaching staff enough that they are prepared to pay £25 million for him, which is more than they paid Liverpool for Danny Ings. Broja has scored five goals in 18 Premier League games during his loan stay on the south coast this season. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has a plethora of offensive alternatives and may be ready to let Broja go.
– According to Footmercato, PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo turned off admiring glances from Marseille last summer in order to remain in the Netherlands, and his choice seems to have paid off, with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City all interested in the 22-year-old. Bayern Munich had been keeping an eye on the left-footed forward in the past, but their interest is thought to have waned. Arsenal seems to be the most interested team, as they want to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but they would find it difficult to compete with Liverpool or Manchester City.
– According to Fabrizio Romano, talented Major League Soccer goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina is garnering Premier League attention and might be on the brink of a €10 million transfer from the Chicago Fire. Slonina set a record as the youngest goalie to start an MLS league game last year, and his ensuing clean sheet was another. Slonina, who has yet to make his full international debut for the United States, has been likened to Gianluigi Buffon, and the 17-year-old has had a meteoric ascent. It hasn’t gone unnoticed by the public. Slonina is claimed to be garnering attention from the Bundesliga, Serie A, and Atletico Madrid in Spain, in addition to two unidentified Premier League clubs.
– After speculations that Chelsea was keeping an eye on Niklas Sule, it seems that Newcastle United has entered the contest as well. Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn revealed on Wednesday that the German would depart the club this summer. According to TEAMtalk, Sule will not leave the team until the summer, when he will be a free agent. Chelsea and Newcastle, on the other hand, are eager to sign the centre-back before the conclusion of the January transfer season, even if it means spending £32 million.
– Manchester City are close to signing MTK Budapest’s Hungarian wonderkid Zalan Vancsa. The 17-year-old winger will remain in Hungary until the end of the season before joining his new City colleagues in the summer, according to the Telegraph. This week, Vancsa will get a medical exam. Bayern Munich, AC Milan, and Sevilla were all rumored to be interested in signing the emerging star, but City moved fast to grab him before the competition.
– According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Victor Osimhen is a wanted man, and although he is content to remain at Napoli until the summer, Arsenal and Newcastle have identified him as a major target. Arsenal’s interest seems to be centered on whether or not they can offload Aubameyang, who is definitely destined for a career outside of north London. Barcelona is interested in signing Gabon forward Osimhen, and if that deal goes through, the Gunners might make a play for him. For the Italian side, the 23-year-old averages a goal every two games, and his former club Lille had a similarly remarkable record.
The “man city news today” is a rumor that Manchester City and Liverpool are both interested in signing Juventus star Paulo Dybala. The transfer fee for the player is unlikely to be less than €100 million.
