Juventus have rejected an offer of £70million plus Henrikh Mkhitaryan for Paulo Dybala from Manchester United.

Dybala is currently one of the highest rated and sought-after forwards in world football and Juventus are quoting £86 million for the Argentine International – the same price that Atletico Madrid might be quoting for Antoine Griezmann.

Manchester United are no more interested in Griezmann after Barcelona are being heavily linked with the Frenchman. Instead, they are now pursuing Paulo Dybala.

Jose Mourinho believes that Dybala – who is two years younger than Griezmann, will be a better value for money and has made the Argentine one of his top priority targets.

But according to the Sun, Juventus have rejected an initial bid for Dybala which also included Manchester United outcast Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Mkhitaryan started the season in fine form but the player had a huge fallout with Jose Mourinho after the club’s defeat against Chelsea last month. And ever since that match, first team performances have been hard to come by for the Armenian. Things have been so bad that he has not even made it to the matchday squad for a couple of games.

And now it seems that United have made up their mind of offloading Henrikh Mkhitaryan and they were planning to swap him with Dybala. Though that plan has clearly been thrown out of the window by Juventus.
