Serie A giants Juventus are ready to make a big move for Egyptian ace Mohammed Salah, who is also wanted by Real Madrid after smashing 64 goals for the Reds since his £34million move from Roma in 2017. Juventus are ‘serious’ about offering Paulo Dybala as a makeweight in an attempt to lure Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah to Turin. While there is no suggestion Salah is looking to leave Anfield, Dybala’s future is a more delicate subject.
Jurgen Klopp’s men will not want to part with last year’s PFA Player of the Year after he helped fire the Reds to last year’s Champions League final and has fuelled this season’s stunning charge. Signing African Footballer of the Year Salah would boost the Italian club’s profile, and they are prepared to offload Dybala in order to beat other suitors like Madrid to the Egyptian’s signature.
But the Turin club will test Liverpool’s resolve by offering Dybala plus £43.9 million, according to Italian outlet Tuttosport. Juventus want to follow their £100million signing of Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, and are keen to pair Salah with the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star in what would be a lethal forward line. The Argentine reacted angrily to being an unused substitute in Juve’s recent 3-3 draw with Parma, storming down the tunnel after seeing Max Allegri summon Emre Can as the last change. (Tuttosport)
Mauro Icardi’s Inter future has been plunged into uncertainty after the forward was stripped of the captaincy and excluded from their squad for Thursday night’s Europa League clash with Rapid Wien. It relates to ongoing tension surrounding Wanda Nara, the player’s agent and wife, and the club over protracted contract talks. (La Gazzetta dello Sport)
Salah has been key as Liverpool battle Manchester City for the Premier League title. But Juventus will once again look to strengthen after securing the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo last summer. They have already reached a pre-contract agreement with Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey. And Salah is the mega star they are determined to sign as well, according to the reports.
