REAL MADRID are looking to muscle in on Manchester United’s negotiations for Juventus midfielder Paulo Dybala, according to reports in Spain.

Paulo Dybala has been linked with a move away from Juventus in recent weeks with Manchester United leading the charge.

The Red Devils are said to have made a bid for the Argentina international in the region of £70million as Jose Mourinho looks to further enhance his squad.

However, the Portuguese could be frustrated in the transfer window as his former side Real Madrid look to muscle in on negotiations.

Spanish outlet Don Balon claim the La Liga champions are keen to sign Paulo Dybala and will dig deep to sign him.

The report says Real are willing to pay up to £105m for the 24-year-old and would deem anything less than that value as good business.

Zinedine Zidane reportedly sees the Argentine as a suitable replacement for Gareth Bale who has long been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu.

Real have reportedly sent several representatives to Turin this week to discuss a deal with the Juventus board.

And Florentino Perez has been encouraged by what he has been told as Juve appear willing to do business.

It would come as a hammer blow to United if Real were to steal Dybala, as ESPN pundit Shaka Hislop claimed this week he would be a ‘coup’ for the Red Devils.

“If Manchester United pull this off, it would be an amazing coup for them,” he said.

“I think he graces United, he graces just about any club.

“It would be a hit if it happens, I’m not so certain that it does.”
