Dybala on Manchester United's radar

   Jose Mourinho is desperate to strengthen his attacking options for next season. He's on the hunt for a new forward, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic ruled out for the rest of the season because of his horrific knee injury, and Wayne Rooney rumoured to leave Old Trafford.

   Starsport reports that Mourinho cooled his interest in Atletico Madrid's man Antoine Griezmann, who was the 1st on the wishlist. And according to Mundo Deportivo, Dybala is the next target who's viewd as Wayne Rooney's heir, and identified by Mourinho as the perfect fit for Manchester United.

   This deal could be easier than ever, after Real Madrid shifted their interest to Monaco's starlet Kylian Mbappe, and Chelsea close on reuniting with Romelu Lukaku.

    The Argentine signed for Palermo in 2012. Dybala had his breakthrough season in the 2014–15 Serie A where he scored 10 goals in the first half of the season, forming a successful striking partnership with fellow Argentine–Italian Franco Vázquez and being linked with several top European clubs. He finished the season with 13 goals and 10 assists, which made him one of the top assist providers in the league. After this impressive season, Juventus announced the signing of Dybala on a five-year deal for a fee of €32 million (plus €8 million in add-ons).

   Since then, the 23-year-old has proved himself as one of Europe's best players, scoring 35 goals and providing 16 assists for the Old Lady. News about his transfer to top clubs in Europe bursted especially after his  2 valuable goals against Barcelona in the Champions League quarter final, despite signing a new deal last month which keeps him in Turin until 2022, earning €7 million per year.

   The versatile, skillfull player has been linked to Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, in addition to other EPL teams. But few hours ago, his agent played down speculations about the rising star's move to another club, and declared that he is happy in Torino, and that he has a long term deal with a team that can win things.

   But can we see Dybala play alongside Pogba, again?

Conte texts Diego Costa telling him to search for a new club!



   Diego Costa could be on the move now after being informed that he's out of Conte's plans for next season. According to Mirror the striker told reporters after Spain’s draw with Colombia on Wednesday evening:"I’m going to be honest, the other day, Conte sent me a message saying I am not in his plans for Chelsea, so I’ll have to find a way out"

  Costa has been of great value for the team, by leading them to win the Premier League, scoring 20 goals and providing 7 assists. He performed well the whole season, and is considered one of the reasons behind the team's success this season.

   The Spain International saw this coming, and was planning to join his former club Atletico Madrid after talks about Chelsea reuniting with Lukaku, but the transfer ban forced by FIFA on the Spanish giants prevents them from registering any player until January 2018. His comments were: "I love living in Madrid, but I have to think about my future."It’s complicated because I cannot go four or five months without playing. I have no preference for a league, I just want to play."

     The 28-year-old was linked with a move to the China Super League in the previous transfer window, but Chelsea failed to sign expensive Lukaku back then, so he stayed at Stamford Bridge. Offers from China are still on the table. Also AC Milan would like to sign him to strengthen their squad, the London Evening Standard reports. The native Brazilian is keen to find a club to join where he can get regular football, because this is the World Cup year, and he is supposed to be impressive so he can play for the national team. If he doesn't play, he's out.

Liverpool to sign Salah?

There has been rumors in the last 2 weeks linking Mohamed Salah with a move to Anfield. Liverpool were interested in the speedster when he was still in Basel FC, but Chelsea were the ones to sign him first. Life at Stamford Bridge didn't go quite well for the winger, after making just 19 appearances, so he moved to Fiorentina on loan. Fiorentina made an offer to buy him, but he preferred a move to AS Roma, where he shone and became a very important player in the squad, leading them  to finish 2nd in Serie A this season, with 19 goals and 12 assists of his signature in all competitions.
   Sky Sports Italia claim that the 24-year-old verbally agreed to sign with the Reds for a weekly wage of 100 thousand euros costing the club 40 million euros. This claim is thought to be true after Salah's friend, Mohammad Saadon Alkuwari, who works at BeIn Sports tweeted on his account (@ms3don) "Can we say congratulations @22mosalah #EPL". Moreover, Roma are forced to sell some of their players to inject the club with cash and break even in abidance to the UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations (FFP). If not Roma will have to pay a fine and could be transfer banned by FIFA.
    This is good news for Liverpool fans for the team has failed to make an impact in the absence of the injured Senegalese Sadio Mane. Also it's good news to Salah's Egyptian fans especially for his transfer fee which is about 1 billion Egyptian pounds!
   Some say Salah should stay in Roma for at least one season for he would fail in the Premier League. Others believe that Klopp will get the best out of him and could be the signing of the year. From a neutral perspective, Salah is a very good player and he showed his value in Roma. He has the ability to change the game and finish it within seconds, using his pace, agility, and skills which will highly suit Klopp's style of play and will ease his adaptation in Liverpool. What do you think?
