Juventus are preparing an offer for Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku and willing to include Paulo Dybala as part of the deal, according to Sky Sports.
Until now, United have been negotiating with Inter Milan for the Belgium international forward but the clubs continue to struggle to agree on a valuation.
The Serie A side made a bid of £53.9m upfront for Lukaku with no add-ons earlier this week which was rejected by United.
United want in excess of the £79m they paid to sign the striker from Everton two years ago if they are to allow the 26-year-old to leave Old Trafford.
New Inter manager Antonio Conte confirmed his desire to sign Lukaku last Friday, saying: “You know very well that I like this player, also in the past when I was Chelsea’s coach and I tried to bring him.
“But I repeat, today Lukaku is a player of United. I have great respect for United.”
However, Inter are now facing serious competition from Italian rivals Juventus.
Juve are prepared to offer Paulo Dybala as part of the deal, with the Argentine striker struggling since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo last summer.
However, it is unclear if Dybala, also linked with a move to Tottenham, would agree to being a makeweight in any deal.
