Juventus have confirmed they have received offers this summer for sought-after striker Paulo Dybala, though vice-president Pavel Nedved did not say if Premier League clubs Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were among them.
Both United and Spurs have been linked with the 25-year-old forward, who could leave Turin this summer to allow the club space to move in the transfer window for former midfielder Paul Pogba.
Dybala was initially signed from Palermo in 2015 as one of their marquee signings, but the Argentine saw his place in the starting XI go to Cristiano Ronaldo last season and had to make do with a bit-part role under Massimiliano Allegri.
Reports in Italy have claimed Dybala has sought clarification from new manager Maurizio Sarri this summer over what his role will be in 2019/20, triggering interest from clubs elsewhere who are open to moving for him if he is open to a move elsewhere, with Paris Saint-Germain also mooted as a potential destination.
And Nedved’s admission that the club will consider serious offers did not suggest that Dybala’s future at the Juventus Stadium is a bright one.
“There are some proposals, there is some interest, but we wait for concrete action so we can then decide calmly," club vice-president Nedved said.
The reigning Serie A champions have been strongly linked with a move for Pogba along with Real Madrid, but one of the Frenchman’s Manchester United teammates whose name was ran by Nedved at the league fixtures launch was that of striker Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgium international is at the centre of negotiations between United and Inter Milan, but they are yet to reach an acceptable agreement and Juventus are believed to be monitoring the situation closely.
“Having won eight consecutive Serie A titles, we feel that we have a strong team already,” Nedved added.
"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 speak about Lukaku or other individuals, but let’s say we are working on it.”
