Negotiations are continuing to the bitter end between Juventus and Manchester United to close the exchange between Lukaku and Dybala . Meeting in London between the agents of the two players (Pastorello for the Belgian, Antun for the Argentine) and the representatives of the two clubs: for Juventus present Paratici. The bianconeri and Manchester United have a broad understanding. In the event of a definitive agreement between Dybala and Red devils, the operation could close in a short time. At the moment the Argentine is expected in Turin tomorrow to start training after the America's Cup.

i could live with that if it had alot of performance based bonus's in it
He's reportedly asking for £10m a year net, which is £360k per week gross.
Edit: reports in Italy now suggesting that he's asking for £277k per week gross. Either way, he'd be among our top four earners (along with Sanchez, Pogba and De Gea).
Have a feeling this will happen.
That site says Lukaku is on 180k/week, not 200k.
https://www.capology.com/club/manchester-united/salaries
So that's nearly 100k/week more.
Also, paying Dybala ~300k/week is a lot.. He isn't that good
" Something something out lads" day
Better be loan only.
I’ve seen places say he is £180k per week and others say he is on £200k per week.
So Dybala is either looking £4m per year more than Lukaku, or £5m per year more than Lukaku. The difference is £1m. It’s a lot of money of course, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s not really for a club the size of United.
The fact is, Lukaku is our of favour and isn’t even playing or training with the team, so the other option would be to keep paying him £180k - £200k per week to sit on the bench and keep a player that doesn’t fit Ole’s plans. If so, Lukaku will continue to decrease in value and he will be worth maybe £15-20m less next season as he will be even more out of favour.
I’d rather swap him now for a player who Ole wants, even if it means paying more £4-£5m per year more in wages.

Makes sense. Darmian wasn’t in the squad that went to Norway.
So we're indirectly strengthening City. Feck.
Young next
Works for me. We need to stop worrying about getting 'good deals' for the likes of Rojo and Darmian and just get the deadwood moved on and off the wagebill
On the same page, he talks also about Lazio:
Capitolo Lazio: Claudio Lotito, presidente biancoceleste, è tornato a parlare diMilinkovic-Savic: “Non spero nulla. Ribadisco che non abbiamo bisogno di vendere per fare mercato”. Il serbo resta un obiettivo del Manchester United, ma a oggi non c’è stato nessun discorso diretto tra i due club. Kezman (agente del giocatore) porta avanti i contatti con i Red Devils: l’affare, però, non è per nulla caldo. Per Pogba, infatti, attualmente la situazione è in stallo. Il centrocampista non avrebbe nemmeno un accordo con lo United: non si tratterà di un’operazione last minute (il mercato in entrata inglese chiude l’8 agosto). Servirà un’accelerazione questa settimana, ma la sensazione è per il club inglese la doppia operazione (via Pogba, dentro Milinkovic-Savic) rimanga difficile.
Lazio Chapter: Claudio Lotito, president of Lazio, is back talking about Milinkovic-Savic: "I don't expect anything. I repeat that we don't need to sell to balance the books." The Serbian remains a target for Manchester United, but to date there has been no direct discussion between the two clubs. Kezman (the player's agent) continues his contacts with the Red Devils but the deal is not hot at all. As with Pogba, in fact, the situation is currently at a standstill. The Serbian midfielder doesn't even have an agreement with United: it will not be a last minute operation (the English market closes on 8 August). An acceleration will be needed this week, but the feeling is for the English club to conduct double operation (Pogba out, Milinkovic-Savic in) remains very difficult.
Young next
Young for Ronaldo perhaps? Maybe we could be cheeky and also ask them to send over a couple of mill as a sweetener?
Wouldn't hurt to ask. We live in a crazy new world where you can swap bench players for potential stars
Would you rather hold onto a player who won't play and keep him on the wage bill? We need to be thinking about ourselves, not worrying about others.
Young next
Come on Juve, Ashley Young for Sandro - you know it makes sense!
Would be really happy if they took Darmian as well as I believe he is wasting his career here
Would be really happy if they took Darmian as well as I believe he is wasting his career here
I genuinely feel bad for him. His career is virtually dead here but he would probably start every week for numerous big Italian sides
wait a minute. Lets think about this
Indeed, yeah you can take Darmian but send Cancelo elsewhere yeah?
He's asking for 10million EUROS NET PER ANNUM, we're currently offering 8 million. Lukaku is asking and receiving 9 million from Juve.
Juve are dumb. Selling Dybala and Cancelo for Lukaku and Darmian. Talk about massive downgrades
The major complication with that one is their owner and our owner don't like each other at all, they used to be in business but had a massive falling out a few years ago. So they'd have to pay even more
I'm aware of their history, i've had interactions with Bloom in the past. As you say both are incredibly sharp guys so if a deal makes sense it makes sense. Have there been any links to possible replacements for Maupay?
Feck me. Too good to be true.
Soon they will be offering all fans a free Italian virgin.
They're forced into it.
It is all secondary to whether or not he fits a high press style or if we are going to have a relatively slow and lazy number 10 killing our press, or have to shunt him out wide etc. All a lot more important than a few m in fee or wages
Also gets rid of Darmian's wages too allowing us more to offer Dybala.
If we manage to convince them to take Darmian as well then this would be our best bit of business in years.
That’s true too. Nobody knows how he would settle in England or the PL. Talent wise though, he would probably be our best player and is a million times better than his direct ‘competition’ (Mata and Lingard).
I think we learned that lesson already with Darmian.
Yeah, it will cost them though on the pitch.
It’s unbelievable shite (in a good way). Lukaku off, Darmian off, a player we need to come. Nearly perfect, we need to sign paperwork tomorrow and initiate medicals ASAP
This deal is like when you add a manager on football manager, bin off all the players you don't want for huge money and nab one of theirs for free.
Sold! To the man with the funny hat
Nah, he just reads an autocue. He's no journalist.
I totally agree with all that post. I thought he would be leaving on a free next year, although I thought he would have left last year. 14 appearances in league the for anybody in two years whilst not having having any injuries, is a complete waste and he should go as soon as possible to get regular football the sake of his career.
