Juventus vice-president Pavel Nedved has confirmed that the club have received “proposals” for striker Paulo Dybala amid reported interest from Manchester United.

Romelu Lukaku has been strongly linked with a move to Serie A this summer and is yet to feature for United in preseason, and although Inter Milan seemed like the leading candidates it is now Juve who appear to be pressing strongest.

Reports have suggested that Juve are happy to send Dybala to Old Trafford as part of a swap deal, however the Argentine international looks set to decline that move as he wishes to stay in Turin.

Despite that, Nedved claims there has been some interest in Dybala from clubs, he said: “There are some proposals, there is some interest, but we wait for concrete action so we can then decide calmly.”

On speculation surrounding Lukaku, Nedved added: “Having won eight consecutive Serie A titles, we feel that we have a strong team already.

“Obviously, with the transfer market open, we’re trying to reinforce the squad.

“I won’t get into details and I don’t want to talk about individuals, but let’s say we are working on it.”
