Juventus ‘dream’ of replacing Dybala with Liverpool forward
Juventus are keen on replacing Paulo Dybala with Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, according to reports.

He has been heavily linked with Tottenham Hotspur, whilst Liverpool are also reportedly interested.
Salah, on the other hand, is eager to renew his contract at Anfield with his current deal running out at the end of next season.
The Egyptian has been in sensational form this season as he is helping Liverpool’s quadruple pursuit.
He is leading the race to win the Premier League’s Player of the Year award and has grabbed 28 goals and ten assists across all competitions.
Salah’s future is up in the air as things stand, with it unclear whether he will extend his current deal, leave in the summer for a transfer fee, or walk away from Anfield on a free transfer in 2023.
According to Corriere della Sera (via HITC), Juventus view Salah as the ‘dream’ replacement for Dybala.
The 29-year-old already has experience of playing in Serie A after successful spells with Fiorentina and AS Roma, respectively.
The report claims that Juve are prioritising midfield recruitments in the summer, meaning they could opt to sign Salah at the end of his Liverpool contract.
Manchester United’s Paul Pogba is mentioned as a potential signing, as is Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo and Chelsea midfielder Jorginho.
Meanwhile, Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson claims Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli is to blame for Trent Alexander-Arnold’s injury.
Jurgen Klopp revealed last week that the full-back picked up a hamstring problem in their clash with Arsenal and will therefore miss England’s upcoming games against Switzerland and Ivory Coast.
There have been some suggestions that the Liverpool full-back’s injury is well-timed in that he can now miss the upcoming England fixtures.
But Lawrenson dismissed those claims, instead believing Martinelli’s “twisting and turning” was the cause of the problem.
He told Off The Ball’s YouTube channel: “No! He’s injured, isn’t he?
“He probably got injured because flipping Martinelli was twisting and turning him all sorts of different ways in the Arsenal game.”
